1) Consensus had some of the best parts of this industry and the worst. It was amazing to have one place have so many people I've interacted with over so many years get to finally meet, or reunite with. There is so much good going on.
2) Meeting in person, even with people who are easy to be keyboard warriors against can help bury the hatchet (I got @Truthcoin to unblock me). There was also an opportunity to meet many others that contribute and start new relationships. A+ on networking side.
