As usual this meetup was the best one yet! I couldn't be happier with the presenters and the attendandees!
I got a group photo where everyone is ready and smiling but it's a little blurry and I like this one better anyway.
@ned showed up again!
He surprised us again! I sent him one little message a couple weeks ago just in case it could work out and sure enough it did. It's almost as if they were watching the live stream to come in at the perfect time! They walked in just as we were finishing the last presentation!

The After Party
At all the meetups we always have so much fun talking and want to keep the conversation going that we end up at Brew and Brew afterwards. They have a great coffee and beer selection that always entices us back so we kept the tradition alive this time as well!
The After Dinner
A few of us were hungry so we had a late dinner after the after party!
The whole night was just an incredible experience! Thank you to all who were there!
Next Meetup
The next Austin Meetup will be on Thursday, March 29th
Let's Talk about SMTs and the Communities We're Building!
There are so many new, growing, and thriving communities within the greater Steem community and we are excited to learn about them all! In this month's meetup we will take a look at some of these communities, how SMTs will power them, and give people a chance to talk about their community or to find communities to get involved in!
