SteemFest² Updates - First names announced - Ticketshop open - First locations revealed - New site is live!
TLDR:
- First Names SteemFest Announced, tickets now available through the new website.
- SteemFest's HF Hotel Deal Still Available: from € 75 / room / night (incl breakfast) - Book before 5 september or prices may most probs go up!
Wow, I was reading back on last year's endevour into launching SteemFest and noticed this year in comparison the organisation is about 1 month ahead, so that's great, plus almost all venues and budget have been arranged. Also the @firepower crew is already get psyched and hyped up again and I'm having some great help, for example @gtg who arranged the 10%-15% discount at the Official SteemFest² Carrier TAP Portugal.
Recently I had been getting some questions about the next updates. I know there had been some time in between since my visit to Lisbon and posts about SteemFest², however I must admit that things seem to go a bit slower in Portugal :) Also, because it's summer holidays it seems to influence response times. Nonetheless, from now on the rat race to 1 November is on!
So as of now, you can visit the completely updated SteemFest website which includes program details, map of the venues, first speakers (many more to be announced) and links to the ticket shop / integral crypto ticket buy mechanism.
SteemFest tickets starting at € 222.22 (1/3 of costprice).
This year's minimum ticket price is a bit more expensive then last year, but still (IMHO) very attractively priced:
- This year we add a full extra day of conference which means a full day of F&B & location rentals and tech / livestreaming.
- Social events outside of the hotel means: more venues to be rented this year (about 4 more in comparison to last year)
- Last year's event had an unrealistically high subsidisation :)
That said, the 'Minnow Ticket' € 222.22 is priced at about 1/3 of the costprice of your attendance, thanks to the support of Steemit.inc and many whales' individual contributions, who like the idea to have an event to be as inclusive as possible. Be sure to also read more on the @t-r-f page about the Travel Reimbursement Fund.
I kindly ask, if you can reasonably afford it to look into options of buying another 'Ticket Type', for example the 'Regular Ticket' priced at 50% of the cost price of your attendance or even higher levels. Check out the SteemFest site's ticket section to learn more about all ticket types. Note that all tickets are equal by means of what you can do with them. Everybody is a VIP, it is just a matter of how much you contribute towards the event.
Buy your ticket with crypto or fiat.
Like last year you can buy your ticket again with crypto. This year the options are SBD, Steem and BTS through SteemFest site's ticket section or with BTC, E-banking and Credit-cards via the SteemFest Paydro ticketshop
Manual Crypto Payments done through the SteemFest site in SBD / Steem / BTS are processed minimum every day at 10 AM CEST and 22 PM CEST by checking our email inbox and validating the incoming transfers on the @steemfest wallet (and the @steemfest wallet on Bitshares). Then we mail you a coupon code to claim your ticket. (you still need to claim your ticket after we mail you the couponcode!)

In other news... I'm doing the craziest Kite-surf challenge this weekend (saturday) - kiting the whole coastline of the Netherlands (130 km's / 80 miles straight line distance). It's a fundraiser for the dutch heart research foundation. We'll be surfing with 100 kitesurfers from 6AM till approx 6PM with about 5 breaks every other 30 km.
Have a nice weekend!
Greetings from Amsterdam,
Powerful @roelandp!
Cheers to you brother for the updates, and it was fantastic meeting you last year at the first Steemfest (props to your pops for the yummy food your family served on Sunday!) and again at Consensus in New York this past May.
Massive respect for doing the Kite-surf challenge this weekend raising money for the Dutch Heart Research Foundation 🤝!
Roeland, if we can sponsor you in your fund raising efforts, please provide a link in a reply to this message so that I, along with other generous Steemians, can show you our support.
Thank you for all you're doing to make this a better world, in SO many ways, for ALL of us.
@scan0017 🤜🤛 😊
I already contributed.. if we all do that @roelandp will be flying this 130km with his kite.
I want to
O! Really?
Great!!
Excellent comment, I really like your work. I think it is very objective in the analysis and in what you want to convey. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Tremendous!
Cheers Roeland, you moved above and beyond your fundraising goal!
Ladies and gentleman of Steemit, our man Roeland has (so far!) raised € 560 for the Dutch Heart Research Foundation!
👏🗣👏
Best of luck this weekend Roeland, have fun, and see you in Portugal! 😀
wooaaah thanks man! See you in Lisbon!
Absolutely! 😊
veel plezier :)
Indeed, just act..
Thank you for sharing roelandp. Looking forward to attend. I just need to work on my schedule
Follow me @Yehey
How was the fundraiser and the long long trip.. "spierpijn"muscle pain?
hy @roelandp, I'm a newcomer to Steemit too, can you teach me a little about Steemit, I know very little about Steemit.
I want to know, how to promote my post to be better known, because if I make a good post not many see it, so it is very futile I typed to make a good article!
Nice
👊 Excellent news, excellent news in deed!
I will be doing what I can to support the event this year, including at least one ticket giveaway contest! I still haven't decided what the contest will be, but it sure will be interesting 🙀 So stay tuned!
I highly recommend anyone with the means to try and make this event, it will be more then just a conference, it will be something you will remember for a lifetime, so you do not want to miss it! On top of that @roelandp is not only a great Steemian but a amazing event organizer and I wouldn't miss this event for the 🌎. @firepower is just an all around great human being and with his team there helping run everything smoothly, unstoppable 👍
This comments rewards (yes all of that 100% self vote as well ) alongside several upcoming posts will be put towards my ticket giveaway contests and the travel fund! So make sure to look out for those as well.
I hope to meet each and every one of you at STEEMFEST this November and do my part to help get some of you there.

Your commenting this EXACT same thing on EVERYONES comment. Makes it not special at all and actually detrimental and spammy.
Only 2 month and a half, I will be there (flight and hotel already booked) See youuu :)
any place for bikers around there?:)
This is going to be great. Its a shame i can attending due to some few setbacks. I will however try my possible best to spread the word on other social media platforms in the hopes of getting more people preferably investors here on this platform. I wish you a successful steemfest.
Thanks a bunch for the updates on SteemFest2! Now that I got a new computer to Steem with, I am VERY interested in going to Lisbon for this one. Let's see how much I can make till then?!?
Namaste :)
Yes!
I hope to see you there!
