There are 3 major Blockchain events in Dubai in the first half of 2025. Token 2049, Crypto Expo Dubai and Dubai fintech Summit. The plan is to hold a day event or networking evening at each of these evebts where Cardano projects can attend for free and present their projects or network with others looking to learn ore about Cardano or even invest/build on a blockchain. We will be posting in social media as always the events that take place and provide a summary of the effectiveness of these events.
[IMPACT] Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community
The aim is to see a decrease in the negativity surrounding Cardano in some spaces as well as see some projects decide to migrate or even build on Cardano that previously otherwise would not have done so. Also we aim to see Current Cardano projects benefit from these events thorough networking and showcasing their projects to an audience that they would not otherwise have had the chance to present to.

Holding the satellite events provides a great way to get Cardano projects to get effeicient and effective networking and connections with people who have not only come from all over the world, but they are genuinely at the event to learn more about Cardano andconnect with the projects building on it.
