To make things possible and success is not a person work or to be a “Lone Ranger”, is all about teamwork! We volunteered to be part of the community is to make things run smoothly and successfully.

After all briefings and discussions among volunteers, which I’m nothing near to them cause I’m staying out of the state. The only thing that I can get the updates is either discord or thru whatsapp. Everyone was assigned for their role to make everything runs perfectly. Here’s the list of every volunteers that need to be taken care of;
Hive account@alvinauh is the Master of Ceremony for the event. What I can say is he’s a 5 Star Emcee. He can bring and raise the atmosphere during the event. Thumbs up bro!

Hive account@gelfire is the finance from all the collections and payment for all the expenses. All the money is handled by her.

Alvin aka Hive account@veenang is a ground manager. He’s taking care and guide all the VIPs from all the way. Respectful and responsive.

When comes to Hive account@bboyady, he is one of our very important person. He took his unpaid leave without any concern and his role is to pickup all the speakers from airport to the hotel and his responsibility is to make sure all the speakers are well accommodated, send them to the venue and pick them. Respect for that! You deserve as a #steemxp KK manager.

Hive account@aaronleang is also very important role in our community. He set ready all the slides for all the speakers. Not just for that! He did his trial run at the videos that make sure everything goes right. An applause to Hive account@aaraonleang, all the way from Kuala Lumpur to support this event.
