I would love to attend but the dates clash with a yoga retreat that I'm facilitating. It's all been planned, organised and booked up well in advance, so there's no chance of me being able to shuffle the dates around in order to make a much desired appearance.

I had hoped that the dates would be kind to me, and just happen to fall in between my travel destinations, but no such luck. It would have been so cool to finally meet the Steemit family. Looks like it might have to be 3rd time lucky for me, so roll on 2018!

To anybody on the fence about going, if there's any way you can go, then get yourself there! It could well be one of the best decisions of your life.

Have a great time In advance to all the lucky souls able to make this year's bash. I'm sure it'll be top notch!
