In July there was a noticeable increase in organised Steemit meetups around the globe.

What are the advantages of meeting people face-to-face?

@donkeypong wrote a great post covering this in detail a few days ago. The key points for me were

• Seeing is believing
• People are wary of things they don’t understand
• Mentoring is key to retention and success.
• Common interests
• Community

Meetup Posts

Read more here about the meetups in July and meet some of the people involved in the Steemit Community. There are also some great ideas for organising your own meetup!, and maybe a little inspiration.

Updates

I will update this post each month to show how the community is growing around the globe. To make my job easier It would be great if you have had a meetup that you would like to include, please post me the link to the summary post, after the meetup has happened.

I have no doubt this first map is incomplete so please send me more places to include

Thank you for reading this. I write on Steemit about Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, Travel and lots of random topics.
