Thank *you* for asking.
Mmh ... ironically most didn't get tickets this time, that tried, and then a few couldn't go after all.
Have a couple acquaintances I know will attend, and also was a bit proactive this year, posting in the Search & Offer company section and elsewhere. Through that connected with a handful of people, that I might or might not meet with (varying amount of contact info exchanged, and we all know how phones are quite redundant at Fusion anyway), which might or might not be a good "fit", and might or might not open for more encounters.
Plan is also to volunteer a few hours, plus I got some tips here & there on "how and where to" (I think yours was one?), so let's see how things unfold.
Some is still a bit up in the air, but I feel there's a decent amount of openings. Also would like to leave part to the unknown, and see what this year's Fusion thinks I need, and my own changes in attitude or behavior might bring.
Da fährt man durchs halbe Land, befindet sich irgendwo am A der Welt in Mecklenburg Vorpommern und die haben einfach Veltins, dieses Spülwasserbier 
Immerhin schmeckt deren Radler und ich trink eh nicht viel Bier auf der Fusion, aber jedes Jahr will ich Mittwoch Abend eins trinken und bin (kurz) genervt. Das ist das einzige Minus was sich ändern ließe (hab natürlich auch keine Lust auf schlechtes Wetter, Kloschlangen und Co), aber gehört auch alles irgendwie dazu
