Steem Saturday Johannesburg

in steem •  8 years ago 

When I did the first Steem Saturday post a few months ago, I envisaged a gathering of people in a small boardroom. It turned out to be a massive event in a large conference hall and many more attendees than initially thought. It is a great success!

I will soon do much more detailed posts in the near future where I encourage each and everybody to consider arranging an event like this in your country or area. I have been contacted from people in London, United Kingdom, Sydney Australia, Boston USA only to mention a few.

Next year's goal :)

Let's arrange 20 Steem Saturday's somewhere in the world during next year :)

A brief look into today's event:

This was a great cryptocurrency event! I had a blast. In the future the more the better! Here are some of my notes from today.

Great to meet you @bitcoinmeister. Thanks for all the chats. Like I said we will speak again :)

Absolutely well done. The presentations were interesting and a great help in getting to understand what Steemit is about and to get an idea of it enormous potential. Congratulations to the organisers and sponsor QuadroIT.

Thank you @Jacor @naomi.louise, @gavvet and the QuadroIT team , you and your team planned a world class event. It was day for the history books and im sure the intention will grow even more steem, and quickly.

As I said in another post, this looks like a very nice event. I will try to join the next one, if it is closer to where I live :)

Thank you @jacor for you and your teams hard work putting together a very memorable day. And thank you @ned. It was great meeting you! Come back to SA again soon!
