No

[GENERAL] Please provide here more information on the open source status of your project outputs

The music concert project will include an open-source ticketing and event management system. This system will be developed using the MIT open-source license, allowing developers to freely access, use, and modify the code to suit their needs.

While the ticketing system will be open source, certain elements like artist contracts and proprietary promotional materials will remain confidential to protect sensitive information. This approach encourages community collaboration and ensures that other events can benefit from the established framework, promoting transparency and innovation within the ecosystem.

[SOLUTION] Please describe your proposed solution

• We will organize a high-profile music concert in a major venue, featuring local and international artists, with sponsorship and branding from Cardano. The event will educate attendees on blockchain technology and Cardano’s capabilities. Marketing will include Cardano education, social media campaigns, and partnerships with artists and influencers to maximize outreach.

[IMPACT] Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community

This concert will increase awareness of Cardano among a broad audience, leading to potential new users and partnerships within the entertainment sector. The event will serve as a catalyst for future blockchain-related projects in music and arts.

[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 event management experience and connections within the local music scene. I will partner with experienced event organizers, marketing agencies, and musicians to ensure successful execution. The team will also include blockchain educators to introduce Cardano to the audience

[PROJECT MILESTONES] What are the key milestones you need to achieve in order to complete your project successfully?

 Finalize event plan, secure venue, and artists (Month 1)

• In the first month, we will finalize the concert’s overall concept and logistics. This includes securing a high-profile venue that fits the expected audience size, booking local and international artists to perform, and solidifying all contracts and partnerships. We will also define the event schedule and assign team roles for smooth coordination. The successful completion of this milestone is essential to ensuring that the event’s groundwork is in place.

Launch marketing and educational campaign (Month 1)

• Simultaneously with securing the venue and artists, we will begin the marketing campaign. The campaign will focus on two main objectives: selling concert tickets and raising awareness about Cardano. Marketing will involve social media advertising, influencer partnerships, and traditional media (radio, print, etc.). In addition, we will start educational outreach, using Cardano branding in all materials and providing blockchain education through our channels, driving engagement with Cardano and the event.

Start ticket sales and promotional activities (Month 2)

• In the second month, we will officially launch ticket sales for the concert. At this point, we will ramp up our promotional efforts, leveraging partnerships with artists and influencers to create buzz. Exclusive offers, such as discounts for buying tickets with Cardano tokens or merchandise giveaways, will be used to incentivize participation. By integrating Cardano into the ticketing and promotions process, we aim to give the ecosystem practical visibility.

Host concert and Cardano showcase (Month 3)

• The concert itself will take place in the third month. This milestone will involve executing the event smoothly, ensuring that the performances, audience experience, and branding run as planned. A special segment will be dedicated to introducing Cardano, with blockchain demonstrations, live Q&A sessions, and booths for further education. The event will be broadcast on social media platforms to expand its reach beyond the live audience, further amplifying the exposure of Cardano.

Post-event reporting and community feedback analysis (Month 3)

• After the concert, we will gather feedback from attendees, artists, and partners to assess the event’s impact. This will include surveys, social media engagement analysis, and reports on ticket sales and educational outreach. A detailed report will be presented to the Cardano community, showing the success metrics (e.g., number of attendees, social media reach, blockchain interactions). The insights will help us determine the next steps for future collaborations and Cardano events in the entertainment industry.
