Subject:
"Emotions towards "e-human" vs face-to-face."
Welcome to my post.
I'm Peter.
I do reside in the UK (United Kingdom) for very long time now.
We could organize more meetups, that is why I create this post.
Bonus: selection of my photos towards the end of the post :)
1. Introduction.
I do not know how you have it, but I personally prefer to interact face-to-face with people.
Today, the world is so electronic, that many of our contacts with people are carried out through social media, telephone, email, messengers, etc.
The quality of communication, contact, and the potential for building relationships, or the emotional side of being acquainted with another person is very limited in many aspects.
I am a man who remembers the 70's, 80's, etc., I remember interpersonal relations then and I compare them to those today and guess what? - I am longing to those relationships from old times.
2. The idea of meeting Steemit-ians from my current regions.
People who can get by (car, bus, train) or fly to one (or various) points in which meetings will be organized, please put in the comments below convenient locations and dates (which I put down below in this post).
One could combine such a meeting with a multimedia presentation about Steemit for people potentially interested who are not yet with us at Steemit.
My own photo, which I made using my Nikon Coolpix.
3. Suggested locations, dates, hours:
Sites:
A. Dublin (Republic of Ireland),
B. Belfast (Northern Ireland),
C. London (England),
D. Edinburgh (Scotland),
E. Cardiff (Wales),
F. Your other suggestion (please mention in the commentary and attach it to the post).
Dates:
Z. Saturday 30 June 2018,
Y. Saturday 7 July 2018,
X. Your other suggestion (please mention in the commentary and attach it to the post).
Hours:
Since many people work weekdays, I think the best will be a trip from the early morning on Saturday and the start of the meeting around 12-2 PM (we will have to see the hours of flights, buses and / or trains.
Length of the meeting:
The longer, the better, but I think that it will not happen without one night, so even by 23:00 or later, then you can reach the place of accommodation and on Sunday we could make the second day of the meeting from morning to afternoon with evening returns to homes.
Please write what you think about it.
Please enter the name of the place and date in the commentary, or even facilitate the letter code (eg AZ). You can enter several locations with dates: from top (for those that suit you best).
4. Ideas for what we can do and what to talk about in such a meeting.
I am asking for ideas on what to talk about and what to do at such a meeting. I leave it to your creativity (I am asking for comments).
I will suggest some ideas from myself:
- exchange of business cards (or contacts),
- a meal from the meeting place, or ordered food, e.g. in a pizzeria,
- multimedia presentation,
- group conversation,
- conversations in smaller groups,
- 1 on 1 conversations (obviously) :)
- sightseeing and/or trip.
- possible accommodation and/or pickups from/to the airport proposed by the local Steem-ians.
Suggested topics for conversations:
- short personal stories and/or insights about Steemit,
ideas for "good roads on Steemit" and what not to do on Steemit (from personal experience), - secrets, hints, tips, etc. about what's best and how to do it on Steemit,
- investments in Steemit and other forms of investment in which we have experience,
- familiarization talks.
I am asking for ideas on what to talk about and what to do at such a meeting. I leave it to your creativity (I am asking for comments).
5. Suggested venue types:
- school hall,
- a conference room of a hotel or a company organizing conferences,
- a meeting room,
- private flat, house, garden,
- restaurant
- park, concert shell, etc.
6. Suggested contributions (fees for venue and/or catering):
They can be made on the spot (then it will be rather difficult to rent a place), or until a week or more before.
The amount of the potential individual payment (contribution) I leave you to choose:
- zero (it can be done, for example in a public place, a park, a private house,
- 5-10 pounds - some mteeting room, maybe some coffee, tea and biscuit,
- 10-20 pounds - probably something more,
- over 20 pounds - ... pounds - I am asking for your suggestions.
6. Meetup?
I do not know if it is already, but maybe we will set up a meetup (from a mobile application for smartphones) in the topic Steemit.UK. Maybe there are already such meetups in existence, if you know any, please write about it. I know steem-dublin (someone wrote me about yesterday).
7. Final thoughts.
Such meetings are probably nice experiences and give the opportunity to meet new people (or "old" friends from Steemit) in real-life face-to-face.
I am sure that if we can organize such a meeting, it will be nice, professional and emotional.
In response to the subject of the post: conclusion is - I prefer personal contact with a human rather than an "e-human" and I hope that you have the same :)

What do you think about all this?
I am waiting for exchanges, opinions and ideas.
I am asking for a resteem so that we can reach a larger group of potentially interested people.
All the best and have a nice day :)
Peter.

This is amazing. Its such a great move to make meet ups for steemit, meeting all steemitians all over the area.
Yesterday the 2nd/6/2018 we also as steemit uganda we also had a meet up as steemitians, where we met with the pioneers of our community and the newbies.
We got techniques on our to take our community ahead on steemit. And I believe that that UK steemit meet up is going to be so influential and effective to the steemitians.
Thank you @cserneithan :)
Your words are so worming. I keep my fingers for your meetups.
Maybe we get so lucky in organizing these events, like you are with yours in Uganda.
Have a very good day and I wish you all the best:)
Peter.
For me - meeting in weekend [close to London/ or London] - is fine.
But I need more time to book holiday and plan my trip...
Prefer 3rd week of July or later.
I have some experience in creating events (in Poland)... but have no experience in steem & cryptos - Still I am a steemit user with only 3 months and my English is not fluent - so for people with Fluent English would be just easier.
I think taking a hotel lobby/hall or some office - in current time - is no need very expensive variant.
We could find cheeper alternatives - to have much more people.
Also closing for people is not good - I prefer open air or big open air pubs where is a lot other people who may be interested...->> WTF this steem and steemit is?
Per day it may be a lot of question from non-steemians.
I have some ideas what we can do...
Hello @marekkaminski :)
I can see, that you also have initiative towards creating and joining these kind of meetups. I am sure, that you experience in creating events would help in it.
Your ideas are nice. The open spaces are good option, mostly in warm months (we can do it in non rainy season in UK) ;)
I am looking forward to speak with you.
Please write me on steemit.chat on my private message (I am @abc.of.love there).
All the best and have a nice day :0
Peter.
