What makes those experiences special which last in our memories
for years? Well, it’s not a simple question to answer. Frankly and possibly,
this is the first I’m trying to find an algorithm for this “Chemical X”. Let me
start then, from the first to the last step.
The meet was started 24 hours when Indiblogger and Skycanner
announced contest for the best travel selfie. It started showing soon in my
twitter feed and many a Indibloggers started tweeting. I also couldn’t resist
the amazing prize of the contest and tweeted a few 7 selfies. I did get
a few retweets and favourites from fellow Indibloggers, which started the Skyscanner
meet for me on twitter.
The venue - Le Meridien, is possibly the best venue I have
came across and I have been to 14 different Indiblogger meets. It has this huge
hall which accommodated the biggest Indiblogger meet till now, close to 400
Indiblogger. The lunch was delicious, sumptuous and very well organised
too.
The people - I always believe, people around you make the
experience special and the bloggers crowd was nothing less than a rockstar. All
the people sitting around the table with me were energetic and full of enthusiasm.
We were all together laughing at every joke, dancing when asked to, cheering
loudly, listening to every point of view presented and enjoying every moment.
Presentations – All presentation and promotions were,
gladly, short and precise. Skyscanner promoted their product/webpage in the
best concise manner. They rightfully promoted their best features – “Everywhere”
and “Monthly and Yearly”- instead of hogging time for commonly found services.
Contests – All the games we played individually or with
teams were another reason why this meet was special. The prizes were special
too. Actually, I and my team won the team amazing “around-the-world” treasure hunt
contest too. This was the first ever team win for me at Indiblogger meets.
Even after writing more than 300 words, I still can point to
one reason which puts the Skyscanner meet among the top few. I would give it up
to everyone at the meet, the sumptuous lunch, the crazy content we won and new
exciting people I met.
