SteemFest² has been incredible in so many different ways - the atmosphere, the locations, the talks, the food...
But what made this event most special were the people!
Steemit has the most amazing and most unique community of any social network on the internet right now.
Steemians are just such overall kind, interesting and open-minded people, who are passionate about new innovations and changing and improving our life.
Getting together with so many inspiring, like-minded people was definitely a unique experience!
Some of these Steemians I've been interacting with online for over a year - some of the early users like 
It's amazing to finally meet in person, although you already feel like you kind of know each other.
Others that I've met, like 
And finally, the last group of people are those who I've neither known via the internet nor in real life - but just by interacting with them during SteemFest, we've already made some new friends and great connections.
No matter the circumstances, everyone at SteemFest was so unique, kind and interesting!
That's why I decided to dedicate a whole post to the people of SteemFest.
I've spoken to many more Steemians than those shown on the pictures - just being present in the moment and fully enjoying the experience kept me from taking too many group pictures.
I gathered all the pictures that I could find with me and other Steemians - but I know there must be way more, so please send them to me if you have any!

We actually just wanted to take a picture with 6 or 7 people - but then, more and more Steemians just started joining us for the photo!
This shot was taken somewhere during the growth process, but there have to be pictures with so much more people in it.
We ended up with probably over 40 people who suddenly all posed together! It was a hilarious and memorable moment.
If you've got any of those images, or know who took them, please link them below! Or if you've also taken a picture with me, please post it in the comments as well!
