What a week it's been! The SteemCreators conference officially wrapped up yesterday and it left quite an impression on all attendees.
Throughout the week I had this excitement build inside me that solidified my passion for this blockchain. I know it sounds corny when you hear it over and over again but this place is ALL about community!
The people are what made this event so special...
We started off the day with an emotional yet powerful presentation from @captainbob
He broke down why stories are important and how they influence everything we do in content creation. Heck, his presentation even had some attendees shedding a tear or two...It was THAT good!
Next up was one of the coolest Steemians I have met yet... @anomadsoul
His story was remarkable and showed that when you put all the excuses behind you, great things can happen on the blockchain. He really cemented my belief in STEEM even more and I'm grateful to have met him and hear his STEEM story!
The day continued on with a passionate talk from @adamkokesh as well as another fantastic live performance by @steembirds and a surprise dual with the Steem Sisters!
What a treat that was!!
The conference wrapped up by what is called 'the pitch party'...Steemians got to stand up in front of the crowd and a panel of experts and let the world know what they wanted to build on the blockchain.
Here's a brand new Steemian (@lifesacircus) stepping up and sharing with us her passion about live performance and her dreams to bring that to the blockchain. Heck, she even did a few hand stands and cartwheels for us ;)
And another brand new Steemian @bimjer sharing his passion for health care and seeing what he could bring to the table and getting great ideas from the panel and crowd.
The worst thing about these events is that they end...
The stories you hear, the excitement you develop makes live events so much worth the effort to attend. And none of it happened without @steemcafe and @larrymorrison These guys are true gems on the STEEM blockchain and I can't thank you both enough for the opportunity.
It was an awesome experience. I'm even more excited now about STEEM than I was a week ago and have met some remarkable people in the process.
I'm looking forward to attending as many STEEM based events as I can and specifically SteemCreators Austin next April....
You are in really good hands folks! If you have any doubt about this blockchain and community, just attend one of these events and you will see what matters most....The awesome people that make STEEM...STEEM!
P.S..... @battlegauntlet coming soon ;)

Great synopsis of the last day, @johngolson!
Looking forward to Austin as well... @captainbob and I will be there with flasks and bourbon... (Irish coffee, anyone...? We must redeem the egregious faux pas cast upon us in Toronto by @steemcafe)

If I move back to the United States, I definitely want to start attending the conferences by Steem Creators, @steemcafe and @larrymorrison.
I want to encourage you to see the current downtrend in Steem as an opportunity @jongolson, an opportunity to finish your goal of acquiring 5,000 Steem Power.
If Steem was at $5.00 - $10.00 USD you may not have been able to reach your goal. So this might be what you asked for!
oh i’m on it lol bought a litecoin worth of steem today :) its much easier to do at these prices lol
Posted using Partiko iOS
I am going to try and invest $500 USD at 0.20 and lower. It isn't a guarantee that it will go that low but it is a possibility.
I hope I can acquire 2,000+ Steem for that amount this year! @jongolson
oh for sure. it’s a great time to buy. i plan on getting even more soon if it stays this low.

Yeah @jongolson I kind of see this as an opportunity for those of us that missed out on Bitcoin. I think Steem is superior to Bitcoin since Steem allows fee-less transactions!
This sounds that you had a great time and met some great people. Wished I would have been there too. You sound so motivated and transfer that to me as well.

steemfest3 is in your neck of the woods. my goal is to get there this year.
Posted using Partiko iOS
Lol. What does it mean 'in your neck on the Woods?
Posted using Partiko Android
sorry man. meaning that the conference is in europe lol
Posted using Partiko iOS
Wish we could do something similar in Taiwan, but our user base is still very small. What do you suggest we do to get more people to join? I proselytize whenever possible, but most people are sticking with FB and Line.
i’d hook up with the promo-steem crew and see what can be done there. there are plenty of initiatives to bring people and onboard them to steem.

Sounds great. Will try to make the next one...

Yes, great synopsys. It was a great conference and series of presentations. Meet a lot of great Steemians and creators. Safe travels all on your return trip and hope to see you in Toronto again - soon.
