Here’s an example of an exciting opportunity that’s come in this week, that the Lab is considering. It’s not in our proposal yet until we confirm details, and it’s just one of a litany of recent possibilities that have come in.
Web3conf is one of biggest web3 conferences in India (<>1500 guests), held at a resort in the south of Goa. We were recently invited to become “community partners”, but there has been no word since.
Here in Goa, we have friends/partners who own chains of co-working and co-living spaces, that I’ve worked with / spoken at, over the years. One is interested in booking a venue near web3conf’s fancy 5-star hotel, and enlisting Goa Music Lab to produce the afterparty. This is to serve the majority of guests in town, who aren’t invited onto the VIP yacht party, or spend too much money at the ritzy hotel bar.
Consistent with our strategy, it’s a perfect “practice” of running an afterparty for a major tech conference - as in our NEAR proposal above, we are targeting doing the same (but bigger) for India Blockchain Week.
We would appreciate feedback from the NEAR community, how NEAR could be visible, and involved, if we take on this collaboration (our sched is already chock full).
Is GoaDAO still active and in town? Are there other India-based NEAR community members interested in more details or even helping? How could NEAR contribute to the experience, if not ensure visibility beyond a banner, to web3 devs, founders, community builders and investors attending the conference?
Interactive NFT art at the very least, would be a useful enhancement.
