Hey Pratik! Thanks for sharing the opportunity! Here are a few questions: - Why so much for speaker compensation? - Who is based in Vadodara? Md Shahbaz Alam? - What will be planned for a next local event after this one? Note: let’s not confuse people by talking about paid volunteers. Could help to build momentum if several organizers are involved. Also, I’d like to explore ways trusted NEAR Meet coordinators might use a DAO to streamline funding… We can discuss that in another thread 🙂 ---

Hey James, - Why so much for speaker compensation? We’re building a curriculum around NFT which we’re planning to open-source. This workshop will be a start to this curriculum and we’ll update it based on the feedback we receive post-workshop. This curriculum can be used by other NEAR Meet organizers going forward. We can reduce the compensation amount if you feel it’s too much. - Who is based in Vadodara? Md Shahbaz Alam? I’m based out of Vadodara and Md Shahbaz will be traveling from Ranchi. - What will be planned for the next local event after this one? We’re partnering with the local tech communities for a series of events to Introduce NEAR and DeFi. Since this is a full-day event and we will have to host an audience of at least 80 participants; we’ll need the assistance of these volunteers to make this workshop successful and ensure that every participant understands the concepts. We’re working on a proposal to streamline the funding process and which will be up by the end of the week. ---

Hey @jlwaugh This event will take place on 6th March, just 3 days from today. Moreover, 80 participants will be traveling from different parts of the region to attend this workshop so we can’t postpone it at this moment. Can you please look into this and do the needful? ---

Thanks for answering and following up ~ I’m happy to support! Just need to reduce that $4000 speaker budget in order to avoid setting a costly precedent with regard to honoraria. How about $2300 total? ---

Thanks for your feedback @jlwaugh. Based on your that I’ve updated the budget breakdown in the proposal. We received multiple requests from participants to extend the registration deadline now in total, we’ve received 147 registrations instead of just 60. I think $750 per head should be a fair amount for speakers. Even after reduced compensation for speakers and volunteers, we’ll need USD 3576.57. ---

Seems like it will be a great opportunity, and I want you to have what you need to maximize potential. Please create a **poll** proposal in the Marketing DAO [here](https://app.astrodao.com/dao/marketing.sputnik-dao.near), and expect more discussion from the council members. The additional budget for 147+ wallets can be folded into a [NEARdrop.io](http://NEARdrop.io) campaign that you develop for NEAR Meet. Looking forward to seeing how this event goes! ---

We couldn’t open any new NEAR wallets because we didn’t have enough NEAR tokens. I’ll be sharing my experience in detail in the event report. [Next page](https://gov.near.org/t/approved-near-vadodara-fp22-nft-workshop/15218.md?page=2)
