I put a post up yesterday to see who in Wales might be interested in a second Steem Wales meetup.
Out of the dozen or so active steemians in Wales there has so far been an encouraging response.
I've only been to one Steem Meetup so far but they do seem like a good idea.
I use to compile a regular listing of all the Steem Meetups around the world, like this one...
There used to be quite a few every month. I haven't hunted round to check yet but I hope they are still going on.
There were regular meetups in places like Adelaide (@mattclarke), Toronto (@steembirds), Aachen (@detlev), Munich (@steem-munich) and Vienna (@manncpt & @mundharmonika). And also ad-hoc events organised by @yoshiko & @yasu24, @thealliance and @canna-curate.
I would be interested to hear from the organisers of these events, as well as people who attended them...
- Have they been worthwhile?
- Have they been good for networking and strengthening your connections on Steem?
- Do you think they help improve retention on the platform?
If that is the case, what can be done to encourage more Steem Meetups around the world.
Of course numbers might be low in many areas but meetups can be small to start.
Would funding for venues, refreshments and publicity help encourage meetups? Or would that be overkill?
Is finding other Steemians in your area a major limiting factor?
Meetups can take many forms...
They can be purely social, or they can include a training element.
They can even be more outward looking and can be recruitment focused.
What do people think about Steem Meetups?
Are they worth encouraging?
What would help make more happen?
Would you be interested in organising one if you had some help?
I look forward to hearing from you.

Steem Meetup Calender Worldwide!! 👍 👍 👍
I have already had a similar one for Europe. Only unfortunately the participation of Steemians and others leaves much to be desired! Participants have unfortunately dropped to almost zero.
Nevertheless I will continue to organize Meetups in Graz (A), Amstetten (A), Chemnitz(D), and in other cities.
Again in Plannung Innsbruck, Salzburg (we already had a Meetup)
Meetup are very helpful, especially for new Steemians! That's why my wish dear Steemians uses this unique opportunity to exchange ideas at Meetups!
in this sense: Steem On!
Cheers 🤠

Hope people come to a Steem Meetup at least once. I was at 2 Meetups, too. The best thing is to combine the Meetups with activities. e.g. bowling, hiking together....
cheers and thx for the video, with a great song!! Steem on!!

In Adelaide, South Australia, we have a regular monthly meet up. Last Thursday of Every month, The Jade Monkey on Flinders Street. 6PM onwards.
We still have them, we just don't make posts about them anymore. :) If you're reading this and planning a trip to Adelaide, Australia, make sure you plan to be at our meet.
I believe that it is assisting with retention.
They have been excellent events for networking, making new friends, and most importantly, to me; meeting people that I would have never otherwise came across in my day to day life.

They are definitely worth doing. I've been to several in London organised by @redrica and even for one of my own. Any time Steemians get together there is good discussion and new people may get enthused.

I attended my third steemit meetup yesterday. They’ve all been fun social events. First one I attended, we met for pizza, second one was to pan gold and yesterday was to watch a baseball game. @derekrichardson organizes Los Angeles events and folks drive up from San Diego or drive from north of Los Angeles. Yesterday I met @mariannewest who organizes San Diego steemit meetups.I’ve enjoyed every single LA steemit event and look forward to them. I like knowing the people I follow IRL and I value all the advice they’ve given me to press on and keep writing. Their friendship is an encouragement. I recommend meetups 👍🏻🎉☺️
I have yet to write of yesterday’s meetup but here’s my past posts on the pizza party and panning for gold:

I believe so. I would be willing to support a "proof of meetup" challenge, people post pics of Steem meetups and earn upvotes and free accounts for new people.

Our Adelaide gig has a "proof of meet up" bot. He's called @frogcake. You come to three Adelaide meetups, and you delegate at least 100SP - and every night, the bot picks 11 random people to award a 100% upvote to the most recent comment.
The biggest delegation is from @mattclarke, who of course, masterminded the whole thing.

@frogcake is also stockpiling account creation tokens, so we can onboard any newcomers there and then. Attendance has dipped a little, Adelaide's Winter and Crypto Winter coinciding and all; but we have a core group who know when and where; and come along when they can. Great bunch.

Hey @pennsif,
all the meetups are in someway different.I've been to Munich and Rotterdam and this where great. I did two small ones by traveling in Bali and with all this people I have still contact.
We do the Aachen meetup not in a pub or bar but in the meeting room of a company with a nice roof garden and a BBQ. There we do a mix of speeches with slides and great food plus beer and a lot time for networking. this format offers a mixture of knowledge transfer and getting known more people.
Next one will be mid-end September.

Meetups and promo is always great but I think what rly hasn’t helped steemit get far off the ground is it’s obsession with iteslef. It’s not going to bring in new people and big bloggers when the main topics that get rewarded are just steemit related. Time and time again I see talented people get very little and any kind of promo steem thing getting loads of votes even see it on my page and most ppl will just lose interest fast. I personally
Think more emphasis on voting none steemit related high quality posts or high talent posts would help the most.

Its like all the successful people on YouTube only talking about YouTube it needs to get way way way more varied but I guess people need to know they will get more than £1.50a post to put a ton of time into editing content so atm most ppl only create content to put on both channels at the same time.
