# [2019.05.10] Datafest

Went to this long-anticipated event today. The organisation became
better compared to the previous year - I didn't have to wait in the
street for a long time to get registered. There were also more food
trucks, and serious-looking security guys appeared standing here and
there. I listened to several talks related to recommender systems
(Zalando, Avito, Vkontakte and Yandex.Zen) and then suddenly met an
old comrade, and then ex-coworker, and some other recommender systems
folks, and current colleagues from the lab, so it was really a good
day.

In the evening we watched several classic Disney cartoons: the Sword
in the Stone, Robin Hood, and Sleeping Beauty - all of which I
watched many times in my childhood and my wife didn't.
