RE: SteemFest³ - SteemitBoard support the Travel Reimbursement Fund.
It is a shame ... You call that a travel fund .... Cause the costs for the two days of so called conference ... are crazy ... like for me I can go 6 times to Krakow with the money they want as entry fee. That is pure trash ... and obviously once again this type of events are made for the rich and they should be freely opened to anyone IMO ....
its 5 days. please visit https://steemfest.com for the tentative program including what is included. then call the suppliers and ask for yourself. then come back to me and tell me what you found.
Well it is not only me who thinks it is quite a lot of money... I am not saying that this is not the real price for the conference... I just say it is quite a big sum for the regular minnow steemian ... Not to mention adding up the hotel stay ... which is expensive too... Whole trip for someone would fo to 1000 Euro easily which is not pocket money exactly... I am glad that you guys are trying to help out... It is cool but I think those type of events should be opened to the Public after all ... How would we gain exposure this way... Or it is more of a High Council Steemit Fest ..
P.S. For me the real deal is the two days where there will be held talks and such from the officials ... The other three days is a Tourist trip around the city ... I can have that for total of 200 Euro for one week if I use traveling services.... (that includes the hotel too .... )
ok, so we also had a chat in PM, thanks for that. Just so you know:
I encourage you to try and win a ticket (see my weekly announcement posts for ticket competitions running) if you find it to expensive. That is literally all extra costs beyond your regular Krakov travel (and then you even win because you don't have 2 pay for some dinners and lunches) and then you can experience the event at first hand.
Imho it would be weird to suspect full board events which last a couple of days to be free.
<3 this year’s event costs well over 500eur to produce per person. thanks to sponsorships current minimum price is down to 50% of that.
the trf fund is just a community effort. sorry to hear your thoughts. but you are entitled to your opinion. feel free to join the livestream.
