I considered doing a proposal for a full fledge ambassadors program. As to me it wouldn’t be just people doing meetups but rather individuals who can represent Steem at conferences etc. This would include some sort of training as well as oversight to ensure it was done the best way possible, essentially providing us with army of spokesmen. So to do it right it would be very time consuming as well as resources would be for expenses etc. I’m just not sure what the reaction to that would be or if anyone would truly see the value in such a thing.
I had not thought about doing one for my own attendance to conferences, no... it’s hard to justify that when we have so much that needs to be done.
I think it is reasonable to start small, such as asking for some modest reimbursement of direct costs for one or more conferences. It would help prove the concept of SPS paying for things while being small enough to be non-controversial.
The recent blockchain update introduced the ability to submit proposals of work for payment. There isn't a UI to see this on steemit.com yet but you can see it here: https://steempeak.com/proposals
I was just going to post the same thing. I think sponsoring @justineh and others like her on a case by case basis would be an excellent investment and use of the new 'kitty'. I thought there already was some sort of Steem ambassadors thingy though? I know @surfermarly was an ambassador a while back.
My personal thoughts are that a formal program would just be another committee, another proposal, another voting process which would end in a swamp of bureaucrasy and failure. I would simply prefer to see the witnesses or whoever bung @justineh a few quid for her expenses and let her get on with it.
Perhaps an account with a delegated pot where the curation funds gained could be used to pay for stuff like this?
Anyway, enjoy the conference.
Last note, I have lived on the outskirts of Bangkok for over 8 years and although I'm not sure if I will be attending SF4, closer to the time I'll be dropping my phone number into a post as a kind of helpline. In the meantime, if there is anything you need to know or need advice on, please drop me comment or note or a discord thingy.
Best wishes
Nearly forgot. You can get an instant account with 20SP delegation and instant account without delegation from Steemhunt and Dlike respectively, they just need a phone number to instantly send a confirmation code to. Its a simple one minute process.

Thank you, and those are fair points. I’ll consider writing something up. Thank you for the suggestion and for embracing #newsteem the way you have 😉
@justineh we need to develop resources to people study and trained to represent steem.

What is an SPS proposal?
