## Description
Nouns as the main ***Collaboration Partner*** for the event looking to help others in the NFT industry collaborate, share ideas and shepherd those builders into the next iteration of the Web3 space moving us all forward.
Requesting **(LESS THAN 1% OF THE TREASUREY FOR MAXIMUM PROLIFERATION EFFORTS)** 245 ETH for NFT Toronto to Nounify the entire event with help from the entire nouniverse.

A small tangent, this conference started because I wanted to bring a really fun and refreshing way for NFT communities to come together and celebrate/network and do all the things other conferences don't offer them to do. Connect, pitch your ideas, be a content creator, do everything you wish to do in a setting where it is safe and FUN! like to party? we are hosting our own. Entrepreneur? Pitch your ideas live and network at the VIP event!
This being said, the nouns has been the most fun i've had in this space in a while and I wanted to make sure I can bring cool ideas to the forefront for us and continue to do so.

## Who is NickyG?
Well, good question, I haven’t been in the Nouns too long. But anyone who knows me in the ecosystem knows I dove head first and my mission is to take my expertise and make a large impact. I own 3 other companies in Web3 and in my opinion have had great success with them. Bridg3 is my marketing agency and I work with OVER 40 of top Content Creators and projects in NFTs to collaborate and facilitate relationships with founders building in the space. To date, we have helped over 265 projects and in doing so helped to generate over $165 million in revenue (https://www.bridg3.io/portfolio). TenX Tools (https://www.tenxtools.io/) is a new company of mine in which I acquired a software company to deliver NFT analytics and botting to users, in under a week we had over 500 sign ups (high numbers for a bot). Lastly, my NFT project W.I.T.S. (https://twitter.com/WITS_nft) Which has yet to launch but hopefully you all see it as a great success.
That’s my background in this space and why I think I can take this opportunity and provide tangible valuable results for the Nouns through an IRL event utilizing all of the Network I have in this space and making the Nouns a Centerpiece of a large event in the industry.

## TL;DR
Why do we want to be this involved? More proliferation of the nouns means more interest within our industry for all things nouns and nouns sub groups. Which will return more interested people taking part in all of the ecosystems restoring the glory and value the nouns were once at. Right now, nouns aren’t known the entire space. That is an issue, The Nouns should consistently be in front of the entire NFT industry by participating in these IRL events so that people know the Nouns are ALL OVER the NFT space and that the community is WAY MORE than the small groups we have (only around 340 total holders of Nouns DAO).

Being the main group at the event and making it VERY clear to all attendees AND SPONSORS

My personal goal is to bring on 5 NEW Nouns holders (bought in auction on nouns.wtf) during the weekend of the event.

### **(there is a massive opportunity to pitch to HUGE companies why they should be involved with NOUNS!)**!
that Nouns are a massive part of NFTs is the goal of this prop and with external marketing that has a reach of over **20 million impressions** for the month of June. SO BIG it is right in your face type of exposure. Participating in events in a small capacity is great but garners small attention. So the proposal here is to prove why Nouns should be a MAJOR part of any Mainstream NFT industry event.

**ROI meets Proliferation efforts.**

See more below on how.

1. **Every Nouns holder can claim a FREE NFT Ticket for the Event**
2. Nouns Prop House LIVE (taking live pitches from buildooors with ideas)
3. Main Stage MC’d by Toady_Hawk and Aubtoshi
4. Free booths for the sub daos that want to attend
5. The Noun Square Live podcast at the content workshop
6. 3,000 Noggles for as many people as we can make noggles
7. Speakers to wear noggles for a photo before starting
8. Nouns at the Kickoff party at Cabana Pool Bar on the 22nd
9. Nouns branding at VIP Mixer event at El Mocambo June 23rd.
10. Super large inflatable Noun ( JoshuaFisher idea) Bigshot Klim has source
11. Month long advertising in Union Station (20 million impressions)
12. Nouns to be able to volunteer and participate in the build up of the event etc. more than just a “sponsor”

## Specifications
NFT Toronto is the FIRST large scaled event for NFT’s in Canada. With an anticipated attendance of 3,000+ attendees and also attendees that come just for the outer events. Running from June 22nd to June 25th, this will be one of the largest events in Toronto in 2023.
### MAX PROLIFERATION
Some of the largest names in NFTs ***(Amazon, Mastercard, Polygon, Moonpay, Frank DeGods, Luca Netz, Champtgram, Susan Cummings, Animoca Brands)*** will be in attendance and all be involved with the Nouns in some shape or form. The Nouns will have the opportunity the collect the attention of the entire space by being apart of the event. All of the involved Sub DAOs will have their time to shine as well by being in front of the entire conference and even have time on stage to find the audience that would love to be apart of the nouniverse in their own ways.

#### **So what does success look like here?**
Success for the Nouns in this event looks like 3,000 attendees and Companies, Speaker etc. leaving the event with the Nouns burned into their minds. Everyone thinking "How can I get involved with this, I am a builder and this is perfect for me". Success also looks like the month long advertisements in Toronto leading to Web3 curious folk coming and learning about Nouns, over 2 MILLION impressions is a lot of people seeing the Nouns in their daily lives.

Also, success is LEADING BUILDERS in the NFT space, purchasing Nouns to participate in the ecosystem and getting LARGE companies involved with Nouns. This will lead to further proliferation in the day to day, with large financial commitments most people want it to do well and will continue to talk about it in their day to day in NFTs.

## Ideas Breakdown
### I. Nouns Prop House LIVE
We will be turning the Pitch Tank (Big orange rectangle) into a LIVE Nouns Prop House! Members of the Nouns (volunteers) will be hosts / guest judges on this stage listening to entrepreneurs pitch their ideas for funding. The Judges will then decided to reject or accept proposals to be incubated into the nouns and help them craft proposals for the DAO!

### II. Main Stage Masters of Ceremony (MC)
Toady and Aubtoshi to be the Masters of Ceremony, introducing all of the speakers and panelists and also taking photos with all of the speakers in Noggles.

### III. Free 10x10 Booths for the involved Sub DAOs
Rough estimate below. But each Sub DAO involved will be provided with one of these if they have NOT decided to take on their own custom booth. (Each of these base price plus needs a banner and graphics created so roughly a bit more than whats shown here)

### IV. The Nouns Square Live Spaces / Pod at the Content Workshop
NFT Toronto will have a live Content Workshop where content creators, podcasters and others can sign up to create and share live spaces at the event! (Reference image not real design)

### V. 3,000 Noggles so all attendees can wear some
EVERYONE WILL GET NOGGLES!!!!!!

### VI. Speakers to wear Noggles for photo Op before speaking
Some of the TOP people in the NFT space, wearing NOGGLES in front of the crowd at NFT Toronto! PROOOOLIFERATOOOOOR

### VII. Nouns at the Kickoff Party at Cabana Pool Bar June 22
The NFT Toronto Kickoff party will feature a few Web3 Native DJs/Creators including Juuku, RicherdIntern, 3LAU, Steve Aoki and more! Branding all over this event.

### VIII. Nouns Cocktails / Branding at the VIP Mixer at El Mocambo June 23


### IX. Super Large Nouns Inflatable (Reusable by DAO)

### X. Union Station Ads
We can advertise the Nouns specifically, with minimal distraction by NFT Toronto Branding for the entire month of June at one of the most foot trafficked places in Ontario, Union Station. Through my personal network, I can get us discounted rates to advertise the Nouns coming to Toronto for the ENTIRE month of June across different parts of Union Station which is right next to where the conference will be at the Metro Toronto Convention Center.
**OPTIONAL ADD-ON (approx $70,000)**
York East Team Way, Wall Murals, Glass Murals, Pillar Wraps, Pillar Frames.
