too expensive - let's do something small and scrappy again

Would sponsor a Nouns Meetup in Taipei, but would not sponsor conference-related marketing. We can do more good with less money.

Hey jacky, i think 40 and other voters said it well here -- the daos appetite has evolved and brand exposure via conferences is no longer that compelling. Instead we gravitate towards "world building" where nouns create their own lore and reasons to exist.

Also, want to make it clear that i appreciate you a lot and would support anything you do that is more aligned with the daos wants/direction in a heartbeat. Here to help if you wanna brainstorm.

appreciate the proposal! It also seems like you did a cool activation last year with a tight budget last year (< $10k) so props to that and for caring about nouns.

I think the reality of the matter is that it's pretty dao consensus that we're no longer that excited to sponsor conferences as a way of getting brand exposure. we're more excited about doing or making something noteworthy that leads to ppl discovering nouns organically (e.g. nouns esports). again, appreciate the prop and the effort put into it!

Instead, try getting a speaker slot, or doing a panel like we did at NFT Fest Australia, and then take a guerrilla marketing approach. Nounify events with your story, rather than with sponsorships, and avoid getting tied down to an expo booth. For example, I was with Aubtoshi and Cheffo this week at SXSW Sydney, where we've not booth or presence. But every 10 minutes we were stopped by people asking "what are these cool glasses?" From which many opportunities arose. Some people saw us and yelled, "Nouns!?" Another, "Noggles!? Is that Gnars!?!?" Go against the grain and make the most of people who take notice beyond a booth.

I think there is a lot of value to IRL events but this cost is just too high to justify.

appreciate the level of professionalism, but i'd prefer more pizza and running, less sponsorship

Cost per day is still way too high, imho.

Thanks for the enthusiasm. Voting against because conference sponsorships are not exciting to me unless the experience is carefully crafted and the fit is compelling.

Pricey

Won't get the votes so I am voting Against, thank you for your effort

crypto conferences are very pricey when it comes to traditional sponsorships which this appears to be, i'm not excited about $50k/day for things like being listed on event brochures, signage, having a speaker, ect.

would support more organic/unique/nounish activations in taipei but not a fan straight conference sponsorships

*please make sure to add tldr/summary to proposals.

candidly, i find the cost too high for something that isn’t that nounish imo. i would pursue something more organic and unique to the community in Taipei.

maybe our presence at these conferences should be defined by the amount of emergent nounish projects being discussed on panels, nouner-speakers, etc.
feels like maybe the wrong sort of place to lean into swag-bombing or even to be paying for a seat at the table?

That said i think its great to provide real social amenities like pizza, running club, etc, which likely increase goodwill.

on the other, if we prioritize making substantive technical/cultural contributions to the space, we'll get there.

50k per day, seems pretty insane. Im not sure the reach is worth that type of spend IRL.
