The NYC Bitcoin Center agreed to host a 24-hour event* (Saturday to Sunday, August 28-29) in their large, hacker-friendly space for $2500. We also have an opportunity to produce an event at the Superchief NFT Gallery (date TBD ~ probably for a closing party).

Operations: $1,500
We are planning to hire members of the āBlockchain@Columbiaā student group to manage operations, including promotional support. Iām also part of the āLion DAOā
Prize Pool: $5,000
These funds will be distributed to specific project DAOs via the Near York DAO, which will be created prior to August 27. We are considering an earlier distribution (Sunday, August 29) to incentivize IRL participation.

Summary
We are looking forward to contributing to many more hackathons and other kinds of events. Our motto: āThink universally ~ act locally & globally!ā How might NEAR help NYC achieve its goals?
@jlwaugh Itās good to see that you are one of first on the field operations too!
I would also love to arrange a hackaton, help people step into the decentralized world in my city but I guess I miss a developer

As we discussed, this would cover our party budget ($3000) in full, along with the venue portion of costs (~$2500) for an event around NFT.NYC ~ maybe Tuesday, November 2.
Wonderful!! Thatās Correct $3k towards the Mainnet after-party Sept 22nd and then the balance will go towards covering the cost of the venue for the NFT.NYC after-party at the Blockchain Center Nov 2nd. So we will only be needing to cover the food&bev and whatever else , etc for November 2nd
