Our YeurDreamin’ Experience
Community events are always special, and a lot of fun. I can relate to it in all depth, as an attendee and being a core team member, and organizer of India’s 1st community event called “Jaipur Dev Fest” (JDF). I am writing with a feeling of curiosity as JDF organizer, to explore all history of how things started with YeurDreamin, to our own experience as an attendee.
Finding the origins
I never attended London Calling, but after digging a bit of history about YeurDreamin, I landed upon this tweet from Feb’18. It seems to be quite a journey from organizers to start from this introduction on Feb’18 to delivering the event on 14-Jun’19

Finding a logo
Just like a startup, this is quite an interesting, creative and challenging task.

Golden Hoodie
Whilst busy helping organize YeurDreamin, Paul Ginsberg had time to get a Golden Hoodie. But he wouldn’t be alone on big day.”
Congratulations to our newest Golden Hoodie recipient, @NaturallyPaul! 🎉⭐️🎉We hope you had an amazing day at #Salesforcetour Amsterdam! #LifewithGoldie #AwesomeAdmin https://t.co/E0oeAg1Qsl

Exploring possible venues
This again relates to me as a JDF organizer, and similar memories flash up.

More love to the paper tickets
I know it’s not GREEN, but it’s classic and lovely
That awesome feeling of old good paper ticket with your name and not just anonymous code – one more reason to go to @YeurDreamin.
Don’t ask me why anymore, my wife will ask the question. Luckily kids want to go there as well, so we will persuade her 🙂 pic.twitter.com/r3cgxY393q— Martin Humpolec (@mhumpolec) November 13, 2018

My trip starts – from India
I flew with two of my teammates, nearly 5 days before the event. I was quite excited to explore Europe for the first time as a tourist, and even more excited to meet and learn from the community there. We enjoyed the calm and beautiful mood of the city (pic below).
It’s beautiful and peaceful around. Lot of people using cycles, of all age groups. pic.twitter.com/o8zvbj4r7O

Keynote by Ladies Be Architects
That’s why I was covering Gemma’s golden hoodie tweet above, it’s so impressive to see achivements of Gemma, and whole LadiesBeArchiects group
Success is a series of small victories. Ask yourself if your mindset is the one thing stopping you doing something you want to do, embrace your failings and strive to learn. Thank you @YeurDreamin for having us as your keynote #YD19 – channel your #growthmindset. And t shirts. pic.twitter.com/Xo0pBEl8iF

We had an amazing time at Amsterdam and loved the hospitality and warmth of the Dutch community there. It was very pleasing to see the welcoming and warm attitude of everyone. YeurDreamin for me was a great success and looking forward to it in 2020.
