View this post on Hive: A first NewSteem meet-up in Rotterdam

Dear reader - Steem has been renamed to Hive since May 2020. My content therefore has moved with me to Hive, and I hope to see you there: peakd.com/@soyrosa.

At least, you were a lot!
What does buzz look like! Makes me wonder. Rotterdam is too far unfortunately but had I known, I would have party crashed :D!

I met him shortly during SteemFest3 in Krakow, but it was only right after the Bowling Evening and @bubke had a few too many cocktails...

Haha, sounds about right, I was chatting with him and @honeydue during the night of Steem at the bar desk!

How about you? Can you easily attend Steem meet-ups were you live? If not, are you thinking of maybe organizing one?

I actually just got an idea that we could have a meet-up in Tampere, Finland, because @tarazkp and @insaneworks live there (and some others are located pretty close, too). Also, couple of my friends (the other I actually just made a Steem account for! he's not of a poster though, but I got him interested about Steem) study there in the University, so I got this great vision that maybe we could co-operate with the University and perhaps do a slideshow open for anyone interested to attend. This is just an idea though, would take some time to organize, so maybe just a regular meet'n'greet would be more like the reality :D

YES YES YES! I'm so happy if you made that happen in Tampere <3 Start with a 'normal' meet&greet would be my advise, as from that meeting you will be able to brainstorm ideas for whatever wishes anyone has: knowledge exchange, casual meetings, strategy sessions surround a topic (like onboarding or marketing) - whatever comes to mind.

I think for the first one just name a time & place, make sure there's flexibility on the menu regarding food/drinks so there's something for everyone, and you'll have a blast :-)

Meet-ups in London are always casual, but meet-ups in Aachen always have presentations - so there's clearly a different need everywhere :D

Yeah, I think it's a good idea to start small. I'll talk to them.

soyrosa (74) · 5 years ago

Awesome. Announce them/it way in advance as I'm one of those crazy Steemians that checks out flight deals and if a good deal pops up might just appear at those meet-ups :D

That was such a nice meetup, totally worth the misery of Belgian-Dutch public transport (still on the way). Thanks, i will remember this better than the SF3 evenings! xxx

Good to hear @suchy! I left a message about this meet-up on @route-m-d, but you might have missed that one :D It was last-minute anyway. Next meet-up will be announced a few weeks in advance! <3 Hope you're doing well, send me a message if you need some info on 'anything Dutch' - lol.

This was indeed a very nice meeting again!
And also very informative. It's always a pleasure to meet people from this community especially when they are living far away but have the chance to participate.
Talking not only over steem and the dapps around it it was interesting to hear about themselves, their family, their way of living - just get to know each other better.
Thanks for organizing it again!

soyrosa (74) · 5 years ago

Yes - indeed! We shared some personal stories about ourselves too, which in the end is the most precious thing in life to share :-) Thanks for being there again and for caring so much about Steem and its people. You're awesome :-)

Although the platform is struggling compared to how it used to be, it's really nice to see you guys meet and have fun. Soon, the community will thrive and will be how it should be

The fact that you've met because of a platform is really amusing to think of.

soyrosa (74) · 5 years ago

Yes - I agree - it's really really special. Steemliterally brings people together. Not just online but also offline. I've been enjoying every single meet-up I've attended. People who attend meet-ups like this have a certain kind of mindset that makes it easy to talk to them :-) I hope you have the opportunity to meet Steem People yourself as well. Cheers!

I'm absolutely looking forward to that day. You can call me one of those survivors who had ups and downs as the platform had its ups and downs as well. It would be a pleasure to hear other people's side of their story. ☺

soyrosa (74) · 5 years ago

You're a survivor :D Yes it's absolutely amazing to hear other peoples stories. Maybe try to organize a meet-up yourself - especially the first time it's nothing more than saying 'when & where' and see who shows up. Everyone pays for their own drinks so there's not real burden for you - just the chance to meet some people. There are so many Steemians in the Philippines!

Looks like an awesome time, there are lot’s of meet ups happening right now the UK seem to be doing loads of them - but then the UK is pretty tiny compared to some parts of the world!

soyrosa (74) · 5 years ago

Yeah - I see some people in for example the US struggle with meet-ups as it's hard to have really 'local' communities - here in Europe its easier to find out if someone lives close/in the same country - so we're definitely lucky in that department! :-) Hope you're doing well @c0ff33a!

Yes! It's totally worth it @catwomanteresa - if there's no meet-ups in your surroundings yet then it can be very worthwhile to try and organize it yourself :-)
