Memorable impressions from long-time and first-time attendees

Ryuichi Matsukura of Fujitsu shared that: "It was very impressive to see the top of the W3C listening to members' opinion and answering their questions."

Tetsuhiko Hirata of Hitachi noted that: "W3C is not just creating a technology standard, it is creating the internet culture.”

Alex Lakatos, of the Interledger Foundation shared: "Just the idea that I've kind of joined the people that make standards on the internet is amazing for me. It's my first TPAC and it feels like I've evolved as a human. And then at the same time getting to help everyone that builds on the internet, that's just extremely rewarding for me."

Henrik Edstrom of Autodesk noted: "We can kind of get an idea of what might be on the horizon and what might be interesting for our company to engage in, in the future.”

Shannon Janus of Hearst Magazines said: "We're not alone in trying to solve for everything, there is a community out there."
