Starting in 50 minutes this week's State of the Steem Forum #5 will be an extended edition.
Steemit Inc Executive Chairman Ned Scott and newly appointed Managing Director Elizabeth Powell will be joining the program for discussion and questions in the first hour.
The State of the Steem Forum proper will then begin around 9pm UTC and run until midnight.
The Forum will this week cover Marketing, PR and Onboarding.
The Forum will take place on the MSP Waves Discord channel between 8pm and 12am UTC.
After this forum the remaining forums are...
Forum 6 (31 January) : Communities, content creation, curation, retention
Forum 7 (07 February) : SteemCommerce, shopping with steem
All are on Thursdays 8pm - 11pm UTC/UK on MSP Waves.
To make the numbers manageable we will be inviting certain DApp/App owners, developers, community leaders and witnesses etc to participate as speaking guests.
Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join in the discussion through the live chat on the PAL/MSP Discord channel during the forums.
I am keen to make the discussions as inclusive as possible so if anyone would like to come on air for any of the particular forums please do message me in Discord (Pennsif#9921) and we will do our best to include you.
