Why I Want to Attend HiveFest¹⁰ in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

When I think about HiveFest, I don’t only see a conference. For me, it is a mix of community, friendship, creativity, and a little bit of adventure. Every year this event becomes a place where the online world of Hive turns into something real, something you can touch, feel, and experience together. This year my flight is already booked. The hotel is reserved. The only thing that is still missing is the HiveFest ticket. I am ready to go – and I am even more excited because I will travel together with friends to Asia.

I am not new to HiveFest. I joined already in Krakow 2018, Bangkok 2019, Amsterdam 2022 and Split 2024. Every HiveFest had its own charm, but returning to Asia feels very special to me. Bangkok was one of my favorite editions, and I cannot wait to feel that same spirit again on the other side of the world.

One of my big motivations is the community. I am also a developer, and during the last year I had the chance to help several other devs, improve their tools, and exchange ideas. HiveFest is the perfect moment to see many of them again, face to face, after such a long time. Online discussions are great, but nothing beats real talks in person.

Photography is not my main focus, but I love doing it. At past HiveFests I enjoyed walking around with my camera, taking photos of speakers, friends, and the atmosphere. It is a way to give something back – and to capture memories that others can enjoy long after the event is over.

But above all, HiveFest is about people. Meeting old friends, creating new friendships, laughing together, sharing ideas, and sometimes starting new projects without even planning it. The late night conversations, the energy of the community, the feeling that you are part of something bigger – that is what makes HiveFest so special.

So why do I want to attend HiveFest this year? Seriously, u still asking? ;)

Because I am ready. My bags are prepared, my flight is booked, the journal hotel is waiting. I just need the ticket to be part of this unique experience once again. I want to meet the community, see my developer friends, share ideas, and capture the moments that make HiveFest unforgettable.
