I just voted “FOR, with POAP” on Snapshot. Excellent proposal, very well-detailed breakdown of the activities, workshops, and talks planned for the event. The timing of the proposal and the step-by-step approach, I believe, guarantee an early start to prepare everything related to branding. I think the cost-benefit ratio of the event in terms of space and exposure time is very fair. It’s an opportunity to network with other sponsors and attendees. I consider it important to use POAP for an event of this magnitude, but if the majority votes against it, we could opt for more economical options like “GitPOAP” (free) and “Mintkudos” (low cost). Both allow you to create custom badges and manage credentials.
Something that could be included in the budget is the generation of valuable video and photo content (professional) during the event to communicate Arbitrum’s presence afterwards. This content would be valuable for the marketing team.
