Please Describe the Event https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/150z5-di6hBqb7hp9_XcUaJE1sGorOxMNvSTIhWWKkHs/edit#gid=0

Harmony is proposing to hold a Harmony Hub during the 4 days of NFT NYC. The Harmony W3BTHR33 Hub will be located just a couple of blocks away from the heart of the action for NFT NYC’s conference location at the Edison. We would be getting 6500 sq/ft in the middle of time square 4 blocks away from the official event for full 96 hours for 20k. We are going to curate a space with some of the thought leaders in NFT’s and Gamefi. We are featuring two NFT projects launching on harmony at this event and we plan to onboard two of the three DAOs cosponsoring the venue with us. We could provide the space in NYC for people to come actually build on harmony. We’re creating a safe place for people to pitch their ideas and get actual support. With beautiful views of the most iconic building in NYC, the Empire State building. Our aim is to inspire leaders and developers to build on the Harmony ecosystem. We are also proposing to hold nightly TGI dinners to further engage the NFT community. Metapride and Foodmasku are inviting 10k+ college students and blockchain enthusiasts to attend our event. We also are planning on working with the Blueverse team to onboard metaverse enthusiasts.

Garrick: Currently this is the main space we have planned for NYC. We will have a full 4 day rental 4 blocks away from where we did the breakfast last year. We have invited over 1000 college students from the local NYC area and 10k bipoc/lgbtq to come build and break down the barriers of web2 with us over these four days. The goal here is to create a new blend of our Harmony “hacker” hub. Less of a traditional hackathon and more of a gamified opt-in experience. Community-focused and driven. I have curated some of the most influential communities to come to share the space with us. We are going to have a PFP alley. Highlighting some of the NFT projects Harmony has recently funded. We are also going to have OnePitch sessions focusing on Gamefi/ Dao’s / Social Tokens. We have also locked in the relationship with New Friendship Tech, so we will be having panels and thought leaders sharing their wealth of knowledge with the event. One of the main goals of this space is to onboard Free Ross Dao and MetaPride to the Harmony ecosystem.

How will this event benefit the ecosystem?

1. Strengthen Builder Network — To build existing and new relationships with builders and growth hackers (local college students, community social groups, local though leaders etc.) to learn their interests with contributing and collaborating in our ecosystem projects (Harmony GameFi, Dao’s, Social Tokens etc.)
2. Local 10k Downloads for 1wallet — One of our main goals for NYC is to find partners and onboard as many people to the Harmony ecosystem as possible. Partnership with Metapride should hit the initial goal. Onboarding at our Web3 Hub event should bring in an additional 1k+ users.
3. Harmony to fund 5 Builders — 1/3 of the attendees and expo hall are occupied by builders. Learn what they are doing and introduce them into Harmony to attract and fund 5 projects under Project-Y program. Curate a list of ecosystem builders that are readily investable (helped by the Harmony Advisors Network if necessary) to attract the attention of investors and to introduce 10 of our ecosystem projects. Connect them to at least 25 discussions

How will you onboard builders and empower developers at this event?

Harmony is going into NYC with a very specific goal to build local developers and scale relationships. While we do not plan to focus on onboarding investors at this event, we are focused on engaging investor interest in existing Harmony ecosystem projects: This event will bring exposure to the Harmony ecosystem through partnerships and collaboration (Nifty Castle, New Friendship Tech, etc.) All these groups have committed to promoting our event as part of their partnership.

Sponsorship options (and preference)

We do not recommend sponsoring the main NFT conference as the ROI does not support our goals

Run of show

Cheap party lights to turn the wall blue (flood / spotlight)
