My friend, Kat, invited me to go to the Malta Blockchain Summit happening in just a few short weeks and right before Steemfest. She had a ticket to give away so I thought about it and said yes. She is pretty involved in the blockchain world and does some marketing for a few blockchain companies.
I will mostly be going there to network alongside Kat. I am afraid that everyone at this summit will be smarter than me when it comes to this technology so I'm not sure how much I can actually gain from the speaking sessions. And there will be thousands of people there from what I'm told, so it is really intimidating. It is not community-oriented like Steemfest is so it's not about meeting other creators but more about meeting potential partners.
Kat says that this industry is already hungry for influencers to promote certain things so there is a big money-making opportunity especially for people who have a following or create content. I'm not sure what all will come of going to this summit, if anything, but I have my hopes. Plus, I'll get to see an awesome new country so that's a win already.
Oh, and it will be a good opportunity to #promo-steem with blockchain enthusiasts.
Since Steemfest is only a week after this happens, I'll be going to 2 blockchain conferences within 2 weeks. Didn't see that coming.
Have you heard of this conference before?
