Excuse me skipping a week. On a personal level much had been going on preparing for our longer trip to Thailand and onwards after SteemFest. We are going to rent out our apartment in Amsterdam for the first time, so I was doing all kinds of overdue errants, small and large repairs, meh. Also we have met with the broker who is going to advertise and intermediate with potential candidates for living in our place while we roam planet earth.
With that done, I'm now moving over to ordering first items for SteemFest, printed matters, wristbands and such. Also I did quite some work on the maps which will be included in the SF booklet and mobile app. I'm also still planning some logistics for the event and very much looking forward to our departure to Bangkok in 4 weeks from now. The first 2 weeks in BKK we (we are with a family of 4) will be staying a bit outside of the city, which means I'll be heading in and out of the city on a daily basis, and considering renting a motor/mopedbike for that. After that, 1 week before SteemFest starts we'll be moving into the Prince Palace Hotel ourselves!
Introducing Conference Venue Day 2 - Warehouse 30
 |
Situated in Bang Rak, very close to the River City mall, is a former array of warehouses turned into a commercial real estate area with boutique shops and art gallery, without losing touch to its origins. This area is the fruition of Bangkok's self pro-claimed "Politically incorrect architect", who's firm is also designing the new airport's terminal. Cosy located near the Chao Praya river, the warehouses house a community arts space with vendors, galleries, food & films.
It is here where in one of the Warehouses we'll have another day full of presentations. Depending on the program we can overflow in the coffee shop's additional presentation zone and the outdoor space will serve as breaks area where our dedicated catering company will serve Thailand's finest food.
Great news arrived earlier this week: A big team from Steemit Inc will be heading to Bangkok to attend and present at SteemFest. Previously confirmed were the attendance of @elipowell and @andrarchy, but I am happy to announce the following new speakers for SteemFest 4:

Some caution recommended with the moped option unless you're experienced.

Of course, please remember about special discounts for flight tickets
<-discount codes inside :-)Yay excited to see @travelfeed present at Steemfest and to meet people behind Steemit Inc 😃
It's great to hear that the whole Steemit Inc gang will attend! This event step by step is proving to be the most promising one so far and I already attended two of them. Definitely worth attending!
Shame I won't be there to get my poker revenge! :-D
Have an amazing time :-)

Are there any outside promotion of Steemfest this time?
At least with #newsteem the community managed to put this on top trending unlike last years.
There are some mentions here and there, I guess there will be more in October

yes @poezio is working on more listings. Still having a conference in itself is not perse "newsworthy", so it's always difficult to find an angle for an interesting story. If you have any suggestions in creative ways to reach out to journalists beyond event listings I'm all ears.
There's the FCCT: Foreign Correspondents' Club of Thailand (https://www.fccthai.com/)
A press briefing would be useful.
Steemit Inc had shipped a press briefing last month about SteemFest - https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/blockchain-leader-steemit-announces-steemfest-4-300891194.html

of course
Double edge sword reading these updates Roelandp as it's great to see everything coming together, but gutted I can't make it this year.
It really looks like you've got it dialed and organised... don't know how you do it.
Cudos.
I might have to get my sht together to finish up the last two 'places in Thailand to visit' posts to try and add some value with recommended places steemians can visit before/after the event.
SF4 in Bangkok looks so cool, keep up the good work 👍🙂

No @ned, or doesn't he work there anymore? I'm kind of thinking that.
I believe he's on a remote Pacific island carving guitars 🎸 out of drift wood,
surrounded by hula girls and drinking champagne out of coconut shells.
Only problem... no 'head and shoulders' out there 🤣😉

Sounds damn fine to me, everyone from Steemit Inc appears to be attending.. except....
Yeah, it's how I envision my retirement 🤣... In my dreams

P.s. Check out this video from @steemmatt for the lowdown from Andy @slobberchops
His parody videos are honestly the funniest things I've ever seen on steem. This post has a selection of his best. Check out the first one, berniesanders interviewing Ned about STINC's power down. That had me choking on my dinner with laughter. And the one about Llfarms sexy photoshoot is hilarious too
Ill look later, at work now! They just wont get it.
ned essentially left and sold his stake 8 months ago
