Here's my #Atlympics submission. 

Ever wonder what hosting an ACE was like before we had an events website (Bevy) and all the resources available today?

@Bridget - here's my last-minute submission about my experience in multiple ACE cities! https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Atlassian-User-Groups/Atlympics-Dave-s-experiences-with-the-Community/td-p/1772203

One of my favorite NYC ACE's was at Squarespace (yes, that Squarespace!) headquarters. The vendors (as usual) provided a lot of delicious bites, and the venue itself was gorgeous with a city view, and there were massive screens for the presenters.

I recall one of the presenters was Meeteor - since that event many years ago, they seemed to have pivoted from a tech solution to more process and best practices consulting approach (which really makes sense - and I'm sure they're thriving now).
