Thanks for submitting this proposal @peth. Iām a supporter of events that combine vibes, impact and onboarding. The budget for the event and funding request are definitely in line with market conditions.
Some suggestions to strengthen this proposal:
This event might coincide with the next grants round. It would be cool to have the team commit to onboarding attendees to Gitcoin Passport and the live grants round. This could be a win-win; creating meaningful and quantifiable impact for Gitcoin + exposing the projects you plan to onboard to hands on experience with QF via Grants Stack. This could also open doors to additional funding through future Gitcoin Citizens rounds.
Content creation: Creating content around onboarding and contributing to the round while at a festival sounds very Degen to Regen. Capturing this vibe through content would be a cool way to encourage more of this.
Can you share how many tickets have been sold? This could be a good metric to help determine the potential for success of this event.
ROI could be based on number of passports created + participants contributing to the live round (if it coincides) + content creation + grantee onboarding.
Include more details on existing partnerships and confirmed speakers. Forum readers might be familiar with those names and could help convince delegates to support.
