Last week I posted about a potential Steemfest in Raleigh during the Cryptolina Conference in June, 2018. I received zero responses. Okay...not quite zero. 
The pot is sweetened
I figured that offering to cover the costs myself would be sweet enough. Also, attendance at Steemfest does not require a ticket to Cryptolina. You can attend Steemfest completely free. I am doing it in conjunction with the conference because we already have meeting space paid for at the conference center. Also, I hope that we are able to draw some new Steemians in during the conference. It is a natural opportunity for growing the platform.
So here is the sweetener: I have spoken to the event organizers. Tickets to Cryptolina (early bird) are running $499. They have agreed to give a Steemit discount to anyone who decides they want to attend the conference in addition to Steemfest Raleigh. We still have to work out the details on what the discount will be, but hopefully it is enough to get some folks out. More importantly, in case I haven't mentioned it...Steemfest is free. You do not have to attend Cryptolina at all to attend Steemfest.

If you are interested in attending, please drop a note in the comments. Again, I will cover food and drinks and arrange the meeting space. This will be our opportunity to discuss the Steemit platform and hopefully recruit some new members. If there are any whales or witnesses interested in attending, please let me know. Your knowledge and experience might help us draw more locals to the event.
It would be greatly appreciated if you could help spread the word about this event with a resteem.
