Trailer: Taipei Blockchain Week 台北區塊鏈週 'Bridge' - YouTube

TL;DR

Proliferating NounsDAO at Taipei Blockchain Week and expand into the Asia and Mandarin speaking market.
The conference is hosted by a DAO founded by a nouner, would love to invite nouners to speak on a panel about DAOs and governance

Why Taiwan

Taiwan is poised to be the next web3 hub in Asia alongside Korea, Singapore, Philippines…etc.
One of the biggest gaming markets in the world, with amazing and affordable developer talent.
There is already an official government agency set up to focus on web3, an environment perfect for blossoming web3 growth.
Taiwan is also one of the top choices for devcon with the most comments. It’ll be great for us to establish presence sooner than later.

Would love any feedback on this, and recommendation on nouners who’d love to come to Taiwan!

This prop looks excellent. The video is very well done and demonstrates that you can create content, which is an important part of event proliferation. These events have proven to be an effective and timely part of the proliferation and DAO growth. The Taipei Blockchain Week will likely become more established as an event. The website and branding is good, and in line with other NFT event standards. On-going updates about the current event status; as far as speakers and attendees is recommended.

The only concern is timing. Specifically if there is construction involved, but perhaps that is easily handled. It seems like this would need to be funded in a fairly expedited way, which may shorten the feedback window. Looking forward to hearing more and watching the progress.

This looks great to me. Well written prop, art looks fantastic, opportunity in Taiwan would be great, and team looks strong. From what I can tell, this seems to be a go! Nice work. Hope it works out and you get funding.

Oni

the mock ups look great!

-when would you need the funding to confidently execute on everything given the timing?
-where are the noggles accounted for in the costs? what type are you planning to use?
-is it standard to have to pay for a speaking slot? this is the largest ask at $6000 USD

Hey @FOODNOUNS, thank you for the feedback on the content! We definitely believe we are capable of producing great content with our team’s experience. Timing wise, definitely on the tighter side but we’re ready to go with designs and production company already locked in. Here’s a video to better show the production plan: NounsDAO Taipei Blockchain Week - YouTube

taipeicity.eth

Hi @bradq thanks for the feedback - welcome you and all Nouners to come over to Taipei for the event!

taipeicity.eth

Thanks @Oni for the feedback!

I think ideally within 1 week or at most 2, we have everything ready to go to make it happen, we have a video demo here of how this might look like NounsDAO Taipei Blockchain Week - YouTube
Great catch, I was originally hoping to ask people who did it for other conference to share the supply but no luck yet. Just got a quote on this for fresh ones, will add to proposal! We’re looking at red paper ones at 2.4 each around 350 of them. (open to ideas here!)
Yes, usually people get speaking spots via sponsorships, that is the minimal amount charged per spot, totally open to add the DAO as a sponsor with this but didn’t want to overstep - open to suggestions on what’s best practice here!

cheers!

Wideeyekarl

I believe @BigshotKlim have some paper noggle for events.

Is there a list of nouners that you will be inviting / have invited? I see there’s $3000 factored in for that, would be cool to know which nouner will be attending.

taipeicity.eth

Thanks for the feedback @Wideeyekarl!

yes, I got a quote from @BigshotKlim on the noggles!

I’ve extended the invite to @skateordao from other people’s recommendation and hope he can come - but open to other suggestions in case he cannot make it!

In the sad case we don’t end up getting a nouner to attend & speak, will definitely refund that portion of it!

wiz

Can you provide more info on who this accommodation is for? The panel speaker?

taipeicity.eth

Thanks for the feedback @wiz! yes the accommodation is for the speaker/nouner that is flying in, still looking for the person who is interested in coming!

Airfare to Taiwan from Europe/US/Australia generally cost 2K for those dates, and budgeting 1K for a week of lodging. If no speaker from nouner can attend, that chunk of that budget will definitely be returned.

joelcares

The actual Nouner you get to speak is important but on this whole this looks like a lot of fun and I love the mockups.

PemburuX

I like your writing style, can pack everything simply. Certainly the most interesting is the mockup that gives the reader a real idea of what to create next.
Interesting to wait for the execution later. Good luck

taipeicity.eth

Here’s an updated breakdown based on some feedback:

Removed the speaker part and added the noggles printed. Will focus on the event activation and propose a separately if we are able to find a speaker from nouners willing to travel to Taiwan and share about nouns.

Event 3D rendered video

Truss Structure + Canvas Printing: $3700
DJ + DJ Booth + Equipment rental for 6 days: $1800
3D Nouns print out: $2500
Nouns Photo booth: $1000

Let me know if anyone have any questions/suggestions/feedback - happy to keep iterating to improve this!

For context, this is a conference my DAO is organizing and executing - can leverage our 40+ people staff 70+ DAO members/contributors and event volunteers to really highlight NounsDAO. Really excited to activate in Taiwan for the first time! Happy to add nounsDAO logo as a supporting organization on our event website for more visibility and exposure as well

taipeicity.eth

Thanks for the feedback! Yes we can’t wait to execute on the mockups! Will definitely capture and share!

Coralorca

cool mockup! this looks fun and nounish

jarmen

Loved the 3D rendered walkthrough ! The entire setup looks dope : )

Reminds of the gaming expos I’ve been to previously!

taipeicity.eth

Thank you all for the feedback! This is now more time sensitive as we’re getting closer and need to order materials asap - would love to hear any additional feedback on the revised / reduced breakdown of cost to move forward, cheers!

We’re looking for Total: $9840 ~ 8.76 ETH @1123 eth price

noun22

ok approved, lets do it. thank you for being flexible in this process

taipeicity.eth

Thank you!!! Will sprint to execute, can’t wait to share media!

Sam

Make sure to video and phot as much as you can so we can share across socials!

Voadz

Looking forward to this!

taipeicity.eth

Thank you @Sam & @Voadz - if any nouners wanted to come and speak about NounsDAO, please reach out on my TG!

taipeicity.eth

On a side note, looks like @BigshotKlim might not be able to guarantee delivery on noggles due to China covid lockdowns, does anyone know any alternatives for getting noggles? we can probably source locally to get them printed as well I’m guessing if anyone has experience doing this, lmk

PemburuX

Congrats and good job

Wideeyekarl

So looking forward to this!

BigshotKlim

Sending you some FUNglasses =)

Last call for nounsDAO speaker to visit Taipei and give be on a DAO panel with us

DAVID

I would recommend asking for more Funds and repeating this set up with a booth at the Taipei Toy Festival. My one thought is that all of these blockchain events “preach to the choir” and we miss out on the proliferation of nouns in pop culture.
I would recommend doing both, and studio one can activate an event at Wrong Gallery at the same time to provide a second location to send new interested parties.

This is TTF:

Here’s the line to get in:

taipeicity.eth

this would be rad! let me look into it, perhaps too late to request more funds / sign up for another event!

lil preview

BigshotKlim

The black background is a bit gloomy, if you want I can send you the art files for our banner at DCON and you cna add your branding etc

Taipei toy festival is fantastic, we are friends with the founders and have many friends from all over the world showing there. Would be fun to bring our toys and products there
