CNFT CON KickOff Party
Problem
Cardano has the stigma of being the "lesser of the fun" blockchain versus Ethereum and Solana when it comes to events and parties on social media such as Twitter.
Solution
Our solution is to make the CNFT Con KickOff Party on Friday a BLAST in Las Vegas by using Catalyst to help us fund the audio and visual production to a professional level.
Total to date
This is the total amount allocated to CNFT CON KickOff Party.
About this idea
[IMPACT] Please describe your proposed solution.
This proposal is mainly focused on throwing an event at CNFT Con to attract new audiences to Cardano and bring attention our ecosystem on Twitter with social media and headliners.
Explain what's unique about your solution, and what value it brings to the Cardano ecosystem.
Our solution is simple. Throw a memorable experience at CNFT Con for the Cardano Community to trend on twitter. Secure a few celebrities with the Catalyst funds to draw more attention to Cardano and bring notice to our blockchain from Twitter posts of CNFT Con.
This proposal will benefit the whole of the Cardano Community. The hope is that this will attract more celebrities and mainstream musicians to represent Cardano and elevate our blockchain to the celebrity reputation Ethereum and Solana. This goes hand in hand with throwing events and parties that people want to be at.

We will track and measure our progress the number of Twitter #notaghostchain #cardanoparties #cardanofomo, different social media tags mentioning the @thehiddenOrder & @CNFTCon, and comparing the number of engagements versus previous account engagements in the past. The goal is to have higher Account Engagement than any previous posts during the account creation history using Twitter social media analytics.

Success for us looks like when Ethereum and Solana Twitter users start to interact with the Cardano Twitter pictures during CNFT CON Kickoff Party to create cross chain talk attracting them to Cardano.
