This is an excellent initiative @stephenkendal, thank you for all of the work that you do for Steemit and the community in general.

I have spent the last few days contacting a few different people about different events happening in 2018, and I will likely be speaking at some, as well as organising some Steemit/blockchain events myself.

I would love to talk more with the promo-steem team about how I could help you spread the brand in general. If you are interested, let me know and we can talk more!
