Proposal To Hire And Send Steemit Representatives Into CONTENT MARKETING WORLD CONFERENCE AND EXPO
A few days ago I was thinking it's time we get to show Steemit to the world in one of those big tech conferences usually held in Vegas or LA. During my research into this I discovered that " Content Marketing World Conference And Expo " is being held right in my own backyard, in Cleveland Ohio. This Conference will take place in September and will last a few days.
Here some details about the conference:

Proposal
Introduce Steemit to 550+ companies and 5000+ attendees:
What better place to introduce Steemit than a conference about content and marketing. Some of the companies attending are big names like Google and Microsoft. Attendees are mostly CIO's and Marketing agents for these companies.
My proposal is to fund a presence for Steemit in this conference as follows:
- Hire two to four local Steemit representatives to attend the conference.
- Educate these representatives about Steemit and the blockchain.
- Prepare Steemit promotional material for these representatives to distribute.
- Create a video record of their interaction with conference attendees. ( when allowed )
- The best results are acquired by mingling with the crowds and doing one on one introductions.
- There is also a sponsorship option, but that will depend on the budget we can obtain for this Expo.
This Conference will take place in about 38 days, so we have plenty of time to also discuss this proposal and make any changes the community deems necessary. Please support this proposal if you think it will help Steemit. I will follow up on this with more details if it is supported by the Steemit community.

Sorry guys I am unable to reply in time to all the comments, Kaspersky decided to take control of my login to steemit, I am trying to figure out what changed.
Can we hire Andreas Antonopulos to be our representative ?
(He is smart enough to be super ready in one month)
I agree with your opinion @liondani
nice post @joseph
vote done
good news
GREAT CALL! I wish you the very best and look forward to the advancement of our Steem team! Thanks for everything. Namaste :)
I am so excited! The steem team is building and we can only rise from here. This is truly a turning point in the way we think about social media, and human interaction in general. It has never been easier to be charitable too! ;)
Just DO IT !!!!
or dont.
Great Please do! Advertising is always great and when you can do it first person at the source its PRICELESS!
Indeed this is a great idea, conferences are great for networking and getting your name out there. Although the investment mus be big
In my long experience organizing events you need to set a budget first. The budget must include all costs involved, including flights hotels foods stands others amongst the actual event conference costs.
A good marketing and creative director for the event would be a great speaker. If @ned or @dan would be able to get a seat in a forum or Q/A that would be even better.
Id be willing to help out, I do this all the time.
Cheers,
Excellent idea. I support it 100% I also support the proposals from @thedailyhobbyist . Looks like he, you and one or two from the Steemit's inner circle could do a great job.
Two questions:
Thanks for your effort!
taken from FAQ on expo website:
How much does it cost to attend Content Marketing World 2016?
Regular price is $1,295 for main conference access. Workshops are an additional $495 and available only to main conference attendees. Industry Lab price is $695 and can be purchased as a stand-alone item. We are also offering an All-Access Pass, which includes the conference, a workshop, an Industry Lab and the Post Show Video Access for $2,235. Last but not least we have a Post Show Video Access option, for those who can’t make the conference, for $495.
Thanks. So we are talking about roughly $10K in attendance fees plus expenses. Completely doable :)

It seems they have several options.
In order for this to work the official Steemit staff should be involved since they should attend as well.
I agree. I hope that they'll see it as an investment :)
wow amazing post you and cool
