4. 
is a true master of ceremonies!
He hosts a fantastic event, as you can see from this year's schedule or more importantly the actual results & reviews from Steemfest 1 - there are all kinds of bonuses and extras that are not even announced! For just one example, last year we were given valuable free Steemfest scarves that we didn't even factor in when we paid for the ticket! He's very considerate and has likely gotten all kinds of surprises up his sleeve with many more details that have not been made public yet.
3. For the love of travel!
