Event Name: ETH Barcelona
Date: 6 - 8th July Location: Barcelona Website: https://ethbarcelona.com/ Proposed by (team lead): Juan and Ed
Please describe the event: ETHBarcelona is an experience for builders, leaders, thinkers, and creators that celebrates the community and its values.
Barcelona is positioning itself as a key hub in the European blockchain ecosystem. Indeed, the Catalan capital is home to a thriving blockchain ecosystem, led by key organizations such as the Catalan Dao,top universities such as the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya-home of a leading european blockchain program and a blockchain-friendly Catalan government. Eth Barcelona thus represents an opportunity for Harmony to develop a strong presence in the Catalan, Spanish and European ecosystems, from which it can continue growing its continental presence. At a time of increased competition, it is becoming necessary to reinforce Harmony’s presence as a L1 and L2 investment alternative.
Barcelona is poised to become the most important eth conferences in Europe. The city has been traditionally a hub for technology events after the Mobile Word Congress became a most important event in mobile technologies in the mid 2000's and it attracted other high profile events such as IoT Solutions World Congress (the biggest IoT event,) and Smart City Expo (also the most important event in Smart Cities.)
This not only have given Barcelona one of the best events infrastructures in Europe, but—more importantly—has made it a beacon for entrepreneurs, creators, companies, etc. that naturally wayfare to the city when a high profile event happens in la Ciudad Condal. Hence, conferences always bring the right audience: the ones that will attend from Europe and the rest of the world and the bustling local ecosystem (Barcelona is the 5th city in Europe to be an entrepreneur according to EU-Startups)
From Harmony's perspective, as we look to create an European foothold in the Iberic Peninsula -and Southern Europe, it's almost mandatory that we cater such an important hub, a strong presence there will allow us to directly target the builders/dev community in Spain, southern France, Catalunya and the rest of Europe, while also catering to the Latam community that naturally gravitates to Spain.
We propose to reinforce Harmony’s presence in two stages. The first and urgent stage is to secure funding as a Bronze sponsor for EthBarcelona (USD 10.000). The deadline for the payment is 22 April. In other words, if payment is not made by that date, the possibility of funding the event will depend on an open bid system, which will almost certainly raise the funding price.
Team members to attend: tbd, but will include: Juan, José, Cristiano, Eduard, Boris, etc.
How will this event benefit the ecosystem?
- Unexplored Community
- Local DAO’s
- Local Universities
- Local community is inexistent and so powerful
- International community & relationship
How will you onboard builders at this event?
Once we have secured funding for the first stage, we will focus on organizing a series of side events that focus on engaging the local and regional ecosystem. Harmony’s activities will start the 4th of July with a full-day event that will include NFT workshops with local artists, 1wallet, zk university, showcase of cryptogames deployed on Harmony, etc. Particular attention will be paid to ensure that conversations go two-ways (conversations, not only presentations). The team will also work towards organizing private meetings with industry leaders.
