Houston We Have a Problem

Houston is the 4th largest city in the United States of America. Did you know that Houston has surpassed NYC and LA when it comes to ethnic diversity, and there are over 145 different languages spoken in this city? We have the largest shopping mall and medical center in the country. We are also home to the first and largest Hindu Mandir in the United States which I have been to as well. As a member of the Greater Houston Partnership, I can continue to spout off all of the reasons Houston is a great city to live and do business.Why is all of this a problem?
Houston being such an amazing city and we have yet to have an official Steem/Steemit MeetUp. That's okay because @xtrodinarypilot has a solution.
On Friday, October 13, 2017 at 7:00 pm Houston will have it's first Steem meetup. It will be held at
The Grand Cafe
1124 Blalock Rd
Houston, TX 77055

What to Expect?

Although the first meetup will be informal, it will also be structured. We will have a few steem blockchain speakers on the topics of

What is Steem?

Content Creation

Application Development

Investment

I believe that is a good start as most of the people that are RSVP to come are not on steemit yet but they have blockchain experience. I also have a few attendees that have more of an interest in the "paid for blogging/vlogging" concept. Anyone who attends will have an opportunity to brush shoulders with local entrepreneurs, IT/IS professionals, local policy makers, and regular people such as myself.

What's Different About this Meetup?

Considering that we have speakers and the steemit community is global, we will be LIVE STREAMING our meet up and speakers. This gives everyone an opportunity to not only watch but also be involved. My hope is that this will help us improve our Steem meetups along with encouraging and helping others that want to host their own steem meetup. The STEEMIT community is very unique and I'd love to be apart of it's growth. @xtrodinarypilot will also have a BIG ANNOUNCEMENT at the end of the meetup.
