RE: A first NewSteem meet-up in Rotterdam
I met him shortly during SteemFest3 in Krakow, but it was only right after the Bowling Evening and @bubke had a few too many cocktails...
Haha, sounds about right, I was chatting with him and @honeydue during the night of Steem at the bar desk!
How about you? Can you easily attend Steem meet-ups were you live? If not, are you thinking of maybe organizing one?
I actually just got an idea that we could have a meet-up in Tampere, Finland, because @tarazkp and @insaneworks live there (and some others are located pretty close, too). Also, couple of my friends (the other I actually just made a Steem account for! he's not of a poster though, but I got him interested about Steem) study there in the University, so I got this great vision that maybe we could co-operate with the University and perhaps do a slideshow open for anyone interested to attend. This is just an idea though, would take some time to organize, so maybe just a regular meet'n'greet would be more like the reality :D
YES YES YES! I'm so happy if you made that happen in Tampere <3 Start with a 'normal' meet&greet would be my advise, as from that meeting you will be able to brainstorm ideas for whatever wishes anyone has: knowledge exchange, casual meetings, strategy sessions surround a topic (like onboarding or marketing) - whatever comes to mind.
I think for the first one just name a time & place, make sure there's flexibility on the menu regarding food/drinks so there's something for everyone, and you'll have a blast :-)
Meet-ups in London are always casual, but meet-ups in Aachen always have presentations - so there's clearly a different need everywhere :D
Yeah, I think it's a good idea to start small. I'll talk to them.
Awesome. Announce them/it way in advance as I'm one of those crazy Steemians that checks out flight deals and if a good deal pops up might just appear at those meet-ups :D
I'll let you know as soon as we'll figure a date :D
YES!!! I'm all up for a trip to Finland if the price is right! The airport is around the corner from our house (15 minute drive) so please include me too @celestal!
I will keep you posted, too!
No pressure :P You already have attendees before even figuring out how to arrange everything, LOL! :')
