Hi Grandslam...

Just so you know: you only pay for the conference with the 'Minnow' ticket. All F&B and side events are sponsored via Whales & Sponsorships.

Additionally:

1. the SteemFest event is before the Websummit, not after.
2. A ticket for the websummit = 850 EURO. Excluding all the things SteemFest offers. That is 4 times as expensive. And you don't get any drinks or top-notch dinners.

So I am not sure you are completely up 2 date with all infos! Please check https://steemfest.com for pricing.

Walk up prices for Websummit, to stay in your comparison example (as it is an event held in Lisboa (but for profit), are 3000 EURO. I am not sure you are going to want those prices for SteemFest.

It is recommendable to just buy a Minnow -ticket now and you have to full days of conference, if you unfortunately won't be able to attend all side events. It is still only 25% of the Websummit price :) And way greater. (but I am biased :P)
