@amvanaken about five months ago, I was looking into creating a Steemit accelerator in the Denver area, and I wanted to see:
- If there were other Steemit users in the Rocky Mountain region in sizable numbers.
- Would they be willing to Meetup at a regular Steemit meetup in the Denver metro area?
- Could it grow large enough to potentially host a STEEMFest-type event? Turns out there is a ton of interest in Denver as a location for a major event. I'd be happy to pull together the event because I used to have business doing that in Florida.
My original post Rocky Mountain Region STEEM/Steemit Accelerator Meetup: Gauging Interest Phase received a ton of support from others in other states, but I didn't see sufficient numbers to move the needle and convince me there was a community to support this accelerator idea. I had a location settled and everything. I also have two newbies who are very interested.
I'm looking forward to this Saturday at Urban Steam. We can talk more about it there. I am also trying to get @kennyskitchen to attend as well. He will be in town until (I think) the end of September, and he has some pretty deep connections with other Steemit users in the Denver area as well and the anarchy community on Steemit.
I'm all about this. Already have a few steemians in the somewhat local arena who I'm talking to about this. One of whom is planning to attend in CoSpgs on Sat with us!
I should be there around 10:30 AM today. See you then.
Great! Im running about that same time myself. Just about to get out the door as soon as i pack up my laptop and feed the quadrupeds.
Looking forward to meeting you guys!!
Wow @lpfaust it’s looking like the future is looking bright for Steemit 😄 I think this will be a hotspot area for Steemians soon, and it’s cool to be able to help make that happen! Also, I am looking forward to Saturday as well! Please keep me posted with any updates for this event or the interview you’re talking about!
@amvanaken see you on Saturday at Urban Steam.
Awesome, we will see you there!
