Being a one day #IndieWebCamp, we focused more on making, hacking, and creating, than on formal discussion sessions.
Nearly everyone gave a brief personal site intro with a summary of how they use their #IndieWeb site and what they would like to add, remove, or improve.

There were lots of informal discussions, some in the main room, on the walk to and from lunch, over lunch in the nearby outdoor patio, or at tables inside the lobby of the Hotel Grand Stark.
We wrapped up with our usual Create Day¹ Demos session, live streamed for remote attendees to see as well. Lots of great demos of things people built, designed, removed, cleaned-up, documented, and blogged! Everyone still at the camp showed something on their personal site!

Thanks to everyone who pitched in to help organize IndieWebCamp Portland 2024! Thanks especially to Marty McGuire (@martymcgui.re) for taking live notes during both the personal site intros and create day demos, to @KevinMarks.com (@kevinmarks@xoxo.zone @kevinmarks @kevinmarks@indieweb.social) for the IndieWebCamp live-tooting, and Ryan Barrett (@snarfed.org) for amazing breakfast pastries from Dos Hermanos.
The experience definitely raised our hopes and confidence for returning to Portland in 2025.²
