[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution
Monthly networking events in Antwerp taking place every last Tuesday or Wednesday of the month to talk about blockchain and web3 and educate people for a year, hence 12 event long project.
The events will feature at least 6 to 8 Cardano projects to educate people about Cardano and the remaining will be from local Belgian entrepreneurs and hence chain agnostic.
[IMPACT] Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community
The events will educate on Cardano and the use cases possible with the blockchain and raise awareness of the Cardano ecosystem and community as a whole.
[CAPABILITY & FEASIBILITY] What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?
I have an MSc in Blockchain and Digital Currency and have been organising events both large and small scale in Belgium for Antwerp Business Community and TEDx among others.
[PROJECT MILESTONES] What are the key milestones you need to achieve in order to complete your project successfully?
A: Milestone outputs
- Finding the locations to host the first 2 events
- Finding the speakers for the events
- Buying equipment for the events (beamer and other paraphernalia)
- Marketing the events
- Finding hotels to accommodate the speakers for the evening(s) - year long partnership
B: Acceptance criteria
- Finalisation of event locations
- Finalisation of speakers for the events
- Purchasing equipment for the event
- Hotel finalisation
C: Evidence of milestone completion
- Report on the acceptance criteria
- Number of events organised in total - if not monthly reports but per milestone.
- Number of attendees for each event
- Name of the speaker and topic
- Location of the event
- Feedback on the event
- Some pictures and videos from the event to prove that the event(s) took place and the number of people taking part in the event during the event? Since many speakers will be from the Cardano ecosystem I suppose they could too serve as a form of proof since they would be the speakers and hence could say whether or not an event took place.

[RESOURCES] Who is in the project team and what are their roles?
Project Leader: Alexandros Ntolgkov
- Will recruit volunteers
[BUDGET & COSTS] Please provide a cost breakdown of the proposed work and resources
Accommodation for max 2 days - day of the event and day after 150 USD per day = 300 USD x 12 = 3600 USD year long
Flights and train tickets to and fro on average 1500 USD x 12 = 18,000 USD year long
Event location 200 x 12 = 2400 USD year long
Beamer: 200 USD
Photographer 50 - 100 USD x 12 = 1200 USD
Marketing of event: 500 USD per event x 12 = 6000 USD year long
Work for all this: 500 USD per event x 12 = 6000 USD year long
12 events = 37200 EUR
1 event cost = 3100 EUR
[VALUE FOR MONEY] How does the cost of the project represent value for money for the Cardano ecosystem?
This is a rough estimate of value for money that I gave considering 1500 USD per flight and an average good quality hotel stay per night in the city of Antwerp depending on availability. The cost of beamer I found on bol.com a local amazon like online store, photographer rate I found through my own connections, digital marketing but also potentially through bus station boards in the city, work for all this: myself + volunteers.
