HiveBeeCon was more of a event for the community members than for outsiders, but HiveFest should show quite different approach.

Actually HiveBeeCon was more for outsiders than any HiveFest... ;) More than 20% of participants did not have an account or had one but never used it. Moreover, there were no tickets and anyone could come. There is no space for casuals on HiveFest. I remember the 2018 event, I even came to Krakow but the programme was so arranged that I didn't manage to meet anyone from #polish.
