Hi Friends!
I am incredibly excited to announce that I will be a keynote speaker at the upcoming Steem Creators Conference and SMT Summit in Toronto this September.
I had such a fantastic time connecting with fellow steemians and speaking at the Steem Creators Conference in Las Vegas earlier this year. I can't wait to meetup with my friends again and get to connect with some new faces! I'm really hoping this conference attracts a lot of the east coast crowd because I would love to hang out with you guys in person!
I am so honored that @steemcafe not only asked me to come back as a speaker - but to fill a keynote role. It is a huge honor and I am thrilled to consider myself part of the Steem Creators family! <3

I just might go, that sounds amazing!
That's awesome to hear @jarotondi!
Aww you saw Mary’s video!! So exciting. ♥️
Seriously can’t wait to hang with you and the gang in Toronto! Thanks for taking Steemit by a storm and planning all these awesome events for us to attend! 😃
Can't wait to see you Lea, gonna be a blast!
Sooo, things I would personally love to hear you speak about is how to present yourself on Steem. You are amazingly authentic and I believe that is part of the root of your success and would love to see more of that on the platform so yeah, teach that lol
Much love, thanks for the shout out
ahhh I can't wait to see you too!!!
I have to say, your comment really has me thinking. My first impression is that you can't really teach people to be authentic on camera (to other people) if they aren't truly authentic with themselves. I'm not saying people are intentionally in-authentic, but you can often feel the difference of someone who has worked through some of that and is at more of a sense of ease with themselves. I could be wrong, but i'll have to think about that more.
Thanks for the thought provoking comment. You are good at those! :)
Maybe teach them that is okay to be authentic, or be aware of how they are are putting themselves out there. So many have their social masks on
I know what you mean though, is a loaded question with a rabbit hole attached to it bearing the question of "who am I really."
I'm sure whatever you talk about will be amazing, I got a lot out of your last speech

I have to say... you have successfully had my mind pre-occupied with this all day. hehe
I think the hard thing is that many people don't even know they are putting on social masks. The next question - is that are the reasons different for each person, or are there common threads that can be strung together to help most people see those masks?
Considering your experience with LoA and the fact that you are super grounded in who you are - I may pick your brain on this more sometime. ;)
Fair enough, wasn't my intention to pre-occupy your mind though it puts a huge smile on my face that you've been thinking about this all day.
Whatever you are inspired to create will be amazing, no doubt about it. I'll take on the authentic self in my talk 😋

I felt very honored that I got to design the @steemcreators logo, @steemcafe was kind enough to offer to give me a couple tickets for the event, I wish I was able to go, next year for sure! I agree, the connection I have made already in these 2 months is amazing, a real feeling of community and friendship. Talk about your work ethic and why you do this at the conference. I really need to utilize steepshot more. I'm excited for you.
I wish you could join too!! It's okay - there will be plenty more conferences in the future. Thanks for the feedback on topics for my talk. I think I have 45 mins to an hour...so I am definitely looking for inspiration as I start mapping that time out.
Awesome job on the logo by the way - I think it turned out really great!
Wow congrats!! 🎉
aww thank you @drewley!!
Congratulations! Can't wait to see the videos of it! I won't be making it unfortunately.
aww thanks my friend! Wish you could join! I know they are planning more conferences in different locations - so maybe one will hit a little closer to home for you sometime. :)
Congrats Lea!
aww thank you @jarotondi!
This is SO. COOL. Hope you have a great time! I know everyone there will be lucky to hang out with you! We'll have to meet up one of these days as well.
Oooh yes!! I don't usually find myself in SLC - but maybe we'll have a Steem Creators Conference there someday?? Who knows! It's a great city for that sort of thing. :)
I hope we get a chance to meet in person sometime soon! <3
Well deserved! Hope it will be awesome! Too bad I live on the other side of the planet. Won't attend I guess :(
aww thank you my friend! Wish you could come...but I guess you have a good excuse. ;)
You deserve it Lea. Way to go :) Looking forward to seeing you again.
aww thanks Ken! Congrats to you as well for being a speaker in Toronto! #steemcreatorsfamily
Congratulations Lea! Can't make it to the event as visa needed but you have fun! Can't wait to see the video from the conference! ❤️
There should be an international event attender visa for such events LOOL
Welcome to check my blogs too
Excuses, excuses! hahah JK - Wish you could join us! Maybe we'll have to come to YOU sometime. hehe
<3
So many people involved in making this a success. Would be waiting to hear you from the podium then :-) ............. on a video of course, since I am in Europe.
You mentioned that how you felt an instant connection with these guys and I think I sort of understand it. People here on Steemit know how to have some fun and chill out but behind it all is a underlying sense of dedication and seriousness. A lot of folks here write about whats important to them and what they are serious about and that all is a reflection from their real lives. I feel that to interact with people here is like a prelude to meeting them.
I think you really nailed it on the head. People tend to show their true selves here on the platform - which is pretty unique. You really do get to know people and so it easily translates to your experience of them in person too.
Ok i'm gong to sound cheesy...but I honestly tear up sometimes just thinking about all the friendships i've built here. It blows my mind that there are so many amazing people all congregated in one spot online.
Maybe someday there will be a creators conference in Europe in we will get to meet! I think they are planning to host more in different areas around the world eventually.
It will be interesting to see where SteemFest is this year! I wish they would announce it already. haha
Congratulations Lea! I'm sure your presentation will be awesome again and I'm sure there will be tons of fun to be had there. Unfortunately, I probably won't be making it to Toronto but hopefully we can all meet up again at one of the other upcoming Steem Creators events... Cheers!!!
Sad you can't join, but I totally understand! You said you are taking your daughter to college that week right? That will be such a surreal moment for you guys!
It sounds like lots more conferences are in the Steem Creators future - so hopefully the next one will work out. :)
My son, he'll be heading to college a little before that but it's his birthday on the 6th and I have an annual photoshoot scheduled for that weekend, and other things going on... Anyway, yes, more Steem Creators fun to be had in the future I'm sure. Have a great day!
Sounds like a busy weekend! I'm sure there will be many more steem creators opportunities in the future! I selfishly keep pulling for a Seattle or Vancouver, CA conference because they are so close to me. haha
This is a good news and congratulations. All these people will be coming too? I see this conference as a huge success already!
aww thanks @vintageverve! I think this event has the potential to be really big. I can't wait to see who all decides to go!
Thanks as always for your encouragement and support! <3
Congrats! I'm fairly new here I wasn't even aware there were steemit conferences, what an amazing way to bring creators together!
I wish you the best in your speaking, will be watching videos online after for sure!
aww thank you so much @chrisftwynn! This is only the second Steem Creators conference - and so you havn't missed much!
Steemit Inc. hosts Steemfest every year - and that is a HUGE event. They haven't announced where it will be this year - but the first year was in Amsterdam, and the second was in Portugal. :)

A good news, but unfortunately I can not irritate this event.
