I can understand your urge to go and meet the members of the Steemit community. There will most likely be other meetings in future though.

What I would do in your situation, is try to farm and save as much money as possible and invest it. Don't spend any money on unnecessary things and invest everything you can. Be it either in Steem or anything else you might find useful.

Admittedly this is not short term solution, but not necessarily the longest possible route. Yes, you will most likely miss the meeting this year but if you work hard and spend your money wisely, you might have no problem in participating in the next one.

Heck, in two years you might not even have any trouble in participating in 5 meetings around the globe. Invest in your future so that you'll most likely have an easier and more enjoyable life later on <3
