The 1st Steem Summit was a blast!
With so much activities during the event, Cebu steemians were able to grasp deeper understanding about community, about talents and skills, about the blockchain as a superior technology that can change lives and lastly they've learned something from a man who's great dedication and motivation in life falls along middle, fair and square.

The Steem Summit was spearheaded by @ybanezkim26, @legendarryll, @thegaillery and @honeyletsgo with the support of The Working Steemians that I have founded last year. The event was held at A Space Cebu, a place for workers/freelancers. The place was a perfect fit for the said event.
That's @brokemancode leading the technical team.
Speakers - About Blockchain, Cebu Community and Life
The first program of the event was the presenting of the speakers with their valuable messages and contribution to the event. The first two speakers,Nathan and Michael Senn talked about the blockchain as a whole context of new emerging technology, their Superior Coin and all about @kryptonia. Those Senn brothers are both knowledgeable enough about the blockchain and their platform Superior Coin that has the potential to create a community inside the Steemit.
The second speaker is @jassennessaj, one of the core leader of Steemph.cebu community. He talked about the recent achievements of Cebu Community, its present initiative and future projects and goals.
The last speaker is @morken, an active member of Cebu Community. He preached about his principle in life, in finding a real/true life. He also stated that steemit is a great opportunity for people including him as a teacher.
I had the honor to welcome everyone and give a little opening remarks for the event. I also grabbed the chance to read what Tom, @donkeypong wanted us to know. A very short and direct message for the Cebu Community.
As far as a message for the group, I don't have much to say other than that I welcome and encourage everyone to try out Steemit and other Steem-powered apps. It's a great way to have fun, share information, and earn a little money. Together, we can change lives.
Bonus Messages from Sndbox Founders, @hansikhouse and @voronoi
Both gave interesting and inspiring messages for the Cebu Community. They talked about collaboration and community building in steemit. They also promote sndbox and steemit as bridge for collaboration of different people engaging with each other and with different talents and skills.
Productions - Beatbox Community and Steemian Singers

The Cebu beatbox community led by @jaderpogi had a chance to showcase their talent in beat boxing individually and as a whole multi-talented group. Those beats kept the hearts of all steemians present in the event alive.

The next two presentors were @jembee and @queenlyka. Those two were aspiring singers with strong and great voice sharing it to the crowd.
Exhibits - Poetry, Photography, Art and Travel

The exhibit featured works from Cebu steemians in 3 different genre, poetry both Filipino and English, photography and travel. Those featured authors received certificates of recognition during the event and rewards(SBDs) for their amazing outputs.
Session - w/ our boy, Terry.
I was the first to see him approaching the venue and I was totally shocked. Minutes before that, he messaged me that it will be in 3 minutes that someone will arrive and be representing him for the event. But it turned out to be a surprise disguise from a whale. He discussed a lot of things, pretty talkative guy. He's the best lover in steemit as what he said and the most remarkable thought he expressed was this:
You can't explain it if you know it.
I, for sure can't explain about that phrase and that simply concludes I know it already. Thanks Terry for making us all special!

Im from cebu but didn't come to know the event, missing this event and I feel so sad about it, I didn't have the chance to learn more about steemit and getting to know my co steemians here in cebu. Hope next time if an event like this happen in the near future my presence will be there for me to learn and reach out and know more people personally in the community.

Yes @sndbox! With those brilliant members of the committee, it would be a wise choice for your community to have those minds and talents.😉
Man! I'm so jealous, you're all so lucky to meet @surpassing google , I hope he will visit Davao City too. To share about life and steemit, I hope and pray that would really happen.
