TLDR:

Wow, I was reading back on last year's endevour into launching SteemFest and noticed this year in comparison the organisation is about 1 month ahead, so that's great, plus almost all venues and budget have been arranged. Also the @firepower crew is already get psyched and hyped up again and I'm having some great help, for example @gtg who arranged the 10%-15% discount at the Official SteemFest² Carrier TAP Portugal.

Recently I had been getting some questions about the next updates. I know there had been some time in between since my visit to Lisbon and posts about SteemFest², however I must admit that things seem to go a bit slower in Portugal :) Also, because it's summer holidays it seems to influence response times. Nonetheless, from now on the rat race to 1 November is on!

So as of now, you can visit the completely updated SteemFest website which includes program details, map of the venues, first speakers (many more to be announced) and links to the ticket shop / integral crypto ticket buy mechanism.

SteemFest tickets starting at € 222.22 (1/3 of costprice).


This year's minimum ticket price is a bit more expensive then last year, but still (IMHO) very attractively priced:

  1. This year we add a full extra day of conference which means a full day of F&B & location rentals and tech / livestreaming.
  2. Social events outside of the hotel means: more venues to be rented this year (about 4 more in comparison to last year)
  3. Last year's event had an unrealistically high subsidisation :)

That said, the 'Minnow Ticket' € 222.22 is priced at about 1/3 of the costprice of your attendance, thanks to the support of Steemit.inc and many whales' individual contributions, who like the idea to have an event to be as inclusive as possible. Be sure to also read more on the @t-r-f page about the Travel Reimbursement Fund.

I kindly ask, if you can reasonably afford it to look into options of buying another 'Ticket Type', for example the 'Regular Ticket' priced at 50% of the cost price of your attendance or even higher levels. Check out the SteemFest site's ticket section to learn more about all ticket types. Note that all tickets are equal by means of what you can do with them. Everybody is a VIP, it is just a matter of how much you contribute towards the event.

Buy your ticket with crypto or fiat.


Like last year you can buy your ticket again with crypto. This year the options are SBD, Steem and BTS through SteemFest site's ticket section or with BTC, E-banking and Credit-cards via the SteemFest Paydro ticketshop

Manual Crypto Payments done through the SteemFest site in SBD / Steem / BTS are processed minimum every day at 10 AM CEST and 22 PM CEST by checking our email inbox and validating the incoming transfers on the @steemfest wallet (and the @steemfest wallet on Bitshares). Then we mail you a coupon code to claim your ticket. (you still need to claim your ticket after we mail you the couponcode!)

In other news... I'm doing the craziest Kite-surf challenge this weekend (saturday) - kiting the whole coastline of the Netherlands (130 km's / 80 miles straight line distance). It's a fundraiser for the dutch heart research foundation. We'll be surfing with 100 kitesurfers from 6AM till approx 6PM with about 5 breaks every other 30 km.

Have a nice weekend!
Greetings from Amsterdam,

@roelandp


Liquid rewards from this post will go to organising @steemfest

Powerful @roelandp!

Cheers to you brother for the updates, and it was fantastic meeting you last year at the first Steemfest (props to your pops for the yummy food your family served on Sunday!) and again at Consensus in New York this past May.
Massive respect for doing the Kite-surf challenge this weekend raising money for the Dutch Heart Research Foundation 🤝!

Roeland, if we can sponsor you in your fund raising efforts, please provide a link in a reply to this message so that I, along with other generous Steemians, can show you our support.

Thank you for all you're doing to make this a better world, in SO many ways, for ALL of us.

@scan0017 🤜🤛 😊

I already contributed.. if we all do that @roelandp will be flying this 130km with his kite.

O! Really?

Excellent comment, I really like your work. I think it is very objective in the analysis and in what you want to convey. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

the link to my fundraiser page = https://hoektothelder.nl/actie/roelandp?locale=en

Tremendous!
Cheers Roeland, you moved above and beyond your fundraising goal!
Ladies and gentleman of Steemit, our man Roeland has (so far!) raised € 560 for the Dutch Heart Research Foundation!

wooaaah thanks man! See you in Lisbon!

Absolutely! 😊

veel plezier :)

Indeed, just act..

Oh yeah

Thank you for sharing roelandp. Looking forward to attend. I just need to work on my schedule

Follow me @Yehey

How was the fundraiser and the long long trip.. "spierpijn"muscle pain?

I'm Agree

Good Good

hy @roelandp, I'm a newcomer to Steemit too, can you teach me a little about Steemit, I know very little about Steemit.
I want to know, how to promote my post to be better known, because if I make a good post not many see it, so it is very futile I typed to make a good article!

👊 Excellent news, excellent news in deed!

I will be doing what I can to support the event this year, including at least one ticket giveaway contest! I still haven't decided what the contest will be, but it sure will be interesting 🙀 So stay tuned!

I highly recommend anyone with the means to try and make this event, it will be more then just a conference, it will be something you will remember for a lifetime, so you do not want to miss it! On top of that @roelandp is not only a great Steemian but a amazing event organizer and I wouldn't miss this event for the 🌎. @firepower is just an all around great human being and with his team there helping run everything smoothly, unstoppable 👍

This comments rewards (yes all of that 100% self vote as well 🙂 🙂) alongside several upcoming posts will be put towards my ticket giveaway contests and the travel fund! So make sure to look out for those as well.

I hope to meet each and every one of you at STEEMFEST this November and do my part to help get some of you there.

As a Steemit Witness I feel it is my duty to help this awesome community in anyway I can so feel free to reach out to me for anything or mention me in a post or comment 🤖😏 and I'll do my best to get back to you!

Ticket bought. Thank you for all your hard work!

Love that Knights Templar fort! I'll be coming to Lisbon both for Steemfest and to visit a wonderful city full of historic sites.
I was just writing about the Knights Templar today ....

I've been there in Lisbon also visiting the Torre Belem. I very much liked the trip to Portugal. Nice country. J

Ey. Thanks for the mention and the hard work!

Flights and hotel already booked! Just got to get the liquid Steem to pay for two tickets. See you guys there!

CAN'T WAIT!

Hi @roelandp

The countdown to the @steemfest has started already 75days to go

I wish I could attend. Wish good luck to the attendees.

This is so freaking Brilliant!!!

I really support this job, even if I do not get a ticket. @roelandp
There are some factors I can not simultaneously there, I am not enough SBD and STEEM for the moment because it is out of reach.
With the hope that next year will be held at this event in my place or in a place close to where we are. thank you

I wish to be there!

Thank

I want to go there 😮

So awesome the first SteemFest is in my country!
I hoped i had money to attend it, maybe next time

the second actually :) Last year was in Amsterdam and you can check the recap via https://steemfest.salon.io

Didnt know that, im sad i cant attend when is in my country, maybe i can get finantial freedom and go the next one :D

there are quite some contests running, so check em out & try your luck!

Can you link some? thanks

If you ACTUALLY read the post you would see he linked TWO people doing a contest.
You expect him to organize, run and post about this entire contest and then on top of that answer comments from people who don't even read the posts?
I do not think you really want to go.

First of all i didnt ask you anything and second this is the first time i see negativity in this community and the worst is from a member with 1 year.

If i actually readed? i know the 2 contests linked in the post, im asking for other contests since this 2 are skills i dont have.

What is the difference between "minnow ticket" and "regular" one :-)

the price. As you can see Minnow = paying 1/3rd of the cost of attending, rest is sponsored. Regular = paying 1/2 of the cost of attending. Its a matter of what you can afford and how steem has been treating you :)

So I guess I have to go for minnow then :-) But I will try regular if I can. For all the platform promotion I did during my races I have impudence to say that I deserve it :P
Thanks for explaining.

I am soon excited!! I just got my ticket!! I can't wait to see you all already! @roelandp you have done such an amazing job! I am so thrilled to see what this will be like! I am also so honoured to be chosen to be a speaker! I shall start preparing! :) Can't wait to meet and see you all guys!!! xxx

Excellent comment, I really like your work. I think it is very objective in the analysis and in what you want to convey. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

Stop spamming every high rank account with the EXACT same spam.

yes yes yes!! looking fwd alla!

wow I will try my best to make it to Portuga. Should I book my ticket To Lisbon? ad then hotel near the airport?
I live in Germany. Moreover, will the ticket : any level take care of all event expenses inlcluding foods and transport?

In addition to my comment, feel free to join the conversation in my new post about future of steem...it will motivate you more about steem . More success to you.

Is there and affilate program from this ?

If you bring in 11 people you can come for free clixmoney :P

I know that I can't come, I am in Russia and I will not be able to do that, maybe the next time, thanks for the invitation I wish you will find more people ☺The idea is amazing ☺

That's gonna be one of the best events ever!
How i wished i could joined you guys there! It will be a dream come true if i can make it one day!
@progressivechef

Thanks so much for your reply @roelandp! Will surely check it live but will miss the rest! Will surely get some bit and pieces from posts of the steemians present!
