The First Melbourne Steemit Meetup (and planning for the next one)
Last night we had the first Melbourne Steemit Meetup at Father's Office. Thanks to @kevinli, @mslillypilly, @ritchieplunkett, @itstime, @mazzle, @hersnz, and @scottweston for making it a great evening.
I really liked that everyone had the common interest of steemit and crytpocurrency but also a diverse range of interests and backgrounds. I found that there were different interesting things to talk to each person about (gyms with @mazzle or biotech with @itstime or video with @kevinli etc). We even talked a little about having an Australian conference of some type at some stage in the future.
At one point we even had a random (possibly slightly drunk) dude come to inquire about steemit because him and his friends were "really into cryptocurrencies".
@kevinli recorded video of from the night including a brief intro from each of us which is up on dtube. I think it captures my feelings on the night too - meeting really great people who are enthused about Steemit.
hopefully we will see you at ...
THE NEXT ONE
- I am going to try a different day. Provisional date (unless lots of people say they can't make it) is Sunday 25 Feb. This will mean people who can't do weekday evenings can make it.
- @kevinli suggested we might look for a space that has a private room and possibly even have some kind of presentation followed by the networking/socialising.
- I'm open to suggestions on format, location, time, and any other ideas you might have.
Thanks for dong this!
Nice one @datascience. I'm glad someone in Melbourne took the initiative to get the people down there organised.
Very cool, I'd like to tag Melbourner @cakies so she'll find out about it although I know tagging doesnt really work.
Nice. I posted on their welcome message.
keep us in the loop.....
I like Kevin's idea, I'm in. :)
Fantastic work guys :)
It must have been great meeting each other in person and enjoying a beer or two!
I'm based in Adelaide but travel to Brisbane quite often, so if anyone from there has a meet up feel free to send me a message over and I will see if I can make it.
Awesome! I'll try to make the next meetup depending on what time on Sunday... I'm looking forward to it! Yay!
Sorry I missed it! I was very busy!
Sounds like it went smoothly. If there's enough notice, I'd be interested in flying down south for a day or 2
Awesome. We are looking at 25 Feb for the next one unless lots of people can't make that date.
It was an excellent evening and great to meet so many fellow Steemians.
A Sunday can work for me as well. Happy to keep it to bars or a room if we can find a good space.
