Standing near the hall's entrance were Oliver and his assistant, Seth. They were speaking with one of the organizers who was quick on his feet and approached the duo earlier as soon as Oliver wore the gold lace conference pass around his neck.
A member of the organizing committee then ushered Oliver and Seth near the stage, where a seat bearing Oliver's initials could be found. The member of the organizing committee sighed in relief after dropping Oliver off in his seat. The laces attached to the conference passes were actually color-coded, with gold lace sent to attendees that were considered as VIP.
It hadn't been long since Oliver arrived in the VIP area and people swarmed him in an instant since most of them already knew each other, either meeting way back in uni or other conferences they attended in the past.
