Hello! I attended the MongoDB.local event and wanted to share my feedback.
The sessions were all amazing. At first I was a little put off with the headphone requirement, but ultimately the headphones did not hinder the learning experience. My favorite session was the talk on Realm: REST-less Mobile apps: why offline-first and sync matters for your app and business. Not only was I impressed by the capabilities of Realm, but the presenter really helped lay out the specific modern day application problems that the framework can solve.
As for the venue, I did feel that it was too small. Very hard to move about. Most sessions seemed to be full with standing room only to attend.
One last comment was on the food. I thought the food truck idea was good but as with the venue, too crowded. with only 45 minutes to grab lunch before the next session, our group decided to eat offsite instead of trying to figure out how to get in line.
Overall an amazing day, and will look forward to the next event!
