Introducing Steemit to Local Community
As part of the Sndbox mission and programming, we will be starting and maintaining workshops in New York City in order to raise awareness of Steemit and equip new users with Sndbox resources. We’re excited to announce our first formal one through our Meetup group The Creative Blockchain NYC!
Here are the details -
- Title: Creative Blockchain Workshop #1
- Date: August 23, 2017 from 6:30PM - 8:00PM
- Purpose: Introduce Steemit, walkthrough of sign-up and posting processes, provide Sndbox resources for newcomers, general Q&A.
We have a small RSVP limit since our venue space is a small studio but after we gauge interest and test our presentation, we’ll organize for a bigger conference-style presentation and workshop.
Workshop Goals
Our main ambitions for this first event are as follows -
- Introduce Steemit to new users.
- Provide a personal introduction to the Steemit platform with experienced users in attendance to provide guidance and promote coaching.
- Help new users develop a gameplan of what they can share and achieve, who they can meet, and why they should integrate their practice on Steemit.
- Nurture a local community that can meet for both professional events and social activities.
We’ll have a mix of people who are well versed on Steemit, relatively new, and those who have yet to look into the website or are still not yet familiar with blockchain technologies. The diversity will hopefully allow a range of input and organic conversation.
We Want Your Ideas
Since this will be Sndbox’s first in-person and structured event, we want to open it up to the Steemit community to both attend and offer ideas of bases to cover. What do you think will be most helpful for new users? How should creative and entrepreneurial professionals approach the platform?
Let us know in the comments below and be sure to resteem to grab the input of your Steemit colleagues!
Great idea!

Thanks for the support :)
Wonderful post @sndbox ... Blessing
Hey @andrewramdas many thanks!
Resteemed;)
Nice work spreading the word :D
Maybe set up a discord server or some chat group for all users at the community so people can stay in contact after the meeting and maybe plan a follow up for people who attend a month later.
Hi @gniksivart thanks for the suggestion! This is definitely something we've been discussing and may implement in the coming months.
Upvoted. I'm going to resteem this now :]
Thanks @opc!
Wish I could make it but I'm helping out with MIT orientation up in Boston. Hopefully you guys will have some more dates in September.
Hey Erick, no worries. We'll definitely have diverse programmed activities every month moving forward. We're also setting up to try and talk at schools in Cambridge/Boston right now actually. We'll keep you posted!
If I lived in NY I would be there.. great time for all... Is there any way we can learn from your meetings .. once I am well versed I want to start a meetup here in Nebraska.. @sndbox
I'm 38 and entirely new to social media and figured I may as well learn on SteemIt. Where should i start?
