I also really had minimal problems, and once I was able to bypass the QoS frame (just by getting direct airmeet or vfairs links) my webcam/mic worked fine. I absolutely loved the presentations, learned a ton, I'm feeling invigorated, but wow, I saw way too many folks leaving in a fit, many with a brag about their decades of IT experience.
After 30-something years of IT experience you'd think one would have developed the technical aptitude to do some routine troubleshooting. Opening the top banner links in a new tab (rather than left clicking them) fixed the mic/camera issues, for one.
This wouldn'tve helped with the backend and presenter issues, but clearly many prevailed and I consider it a success (SpaceX Starship SN8-10 were a success even though they blew up!)
But sometimes I wish I could just take over the host's or speaker's computer so I can click all the right buttons for them.

Airmeet is a year-old startup and this was the largest conference they have handled to date.
In contrast, I spoke at a recent Debian conference which was handled entirely with Open Source software (Jitsi, mainly) and came off flawlessly. You don't really need these expensive closed platforms.
Bob's talk was the best of the show and came off well, technically, as well. Sunday was sort of horrifying, the two talks I tried to attend before Bob's were N6BT on Vertical Antennas, and one on Antenna Aperture. In both cases the host could find the video, one of them eventually found the video but could not admit the speaker to the presentation.
I didn't have problems with my ticket or getting in to the events, but I hear many people did.

It will be up on Vimeo I think today for attendees and after I let that run until the weekend, my talk will be on my YT channel and others.
It seems to have worked.

Bob, will your talk also appear on your YouTube channel at some point?

I worked through the issues and presented my talk in full high def and
full screen. I have hundreds of people in the audience. There were issues. However we find out this morning that every single talk, with the email you signed up with is on its way within hours and will stream with vimeo in high def.
