# ETH Denver : 13 Days of Proliferation! Lil Nouns Ambassador and Event Coordinator

### Intro
I am excited to propose myself as **an official ambassador** for the Lil Nouns DAO at **Eth Denver, Buidl Week, and the Mountain Retreat**. As an active member of the Ethereum community and a passionate advocate for decentralized technologies and communities, I believe that Lil Nouns' innovative approach to onboarding into the Nouns ecosystem aligns perfectly with the goals of this event. I would like to propose throwing a **Lil Nouns event at Tetra Lounge**, one of the event's days, to showcase the capabilities of Lil Nouns and provide an interactive and immersive experience for attendees to learn more about our project and engage with our team and community.Furthermore, as an ambassador, I am committed to representing the project in a professional and engaging manner throughout the **entire 10-day event**. I will ALSO attend the **official ETH Denver Mountain Retreat activation** on March 6th-9th, totaling a whopping **13 days of proliferation!**

To enhance the overall experience of the event, we have arranged for a live DJ or music act to perform in the evening. We have one musician on standby and have spoken with a few other potential artists to provide a dynamic and entertaining atmosphere. This will be a great opportunity for attendees to enjoy live music while also engaging with the unique cannabis art collections and the free dab booth. Having a live DJ or music act will also provide a memorable and enjoyable experience for the attendees, making it an enjoyable evening for all. This will be a great way to provide an immersive experience for attendees, making the event more engaging and fun-filled.

# Why
[ETH Denver 2023 Hype video](https://www.ethdenver.com/overview)

Lil Nouns will be targeting a **key demographic** at this years **ETH Denver 2023**. Eth Denver is an annual event that focuses on the Ethereum blockchain and its community. The event typically includes hackathons, workshops, and presentations on various topics related to the Ethereum ecosystem, such as decentralized finance (DeFi), non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and scaling solutions.

With community members on six continents, **ETHDenver #BUIDLathon + Workshop + Community Gathering + Innovation Festival** has proven itself as one of the most important events on the annual calendar for those interested in a decentralized / Web3 future. ETHDenver is the **world’s largest and longest-running Ethereum #BUIDLathon event**.

One reason why Eth Denver is considered to be a perfect event to proliferate at is due to the strong community focus. The event brings together a diverse group of developers, researchers, and enthusiasts from around the world, fostering collaboration and networking opportunities. Additionally, the hackathon format of the event encourages experimentation and innovation, which can lead to the development of new and exciting projects in the Ethereum ecosystem. Furthermore, it is a perfect platform for blockchain startups and projects to showcase their work and attract new users and investors.

### Mountain Retreat activation March 6th-9th

The Mountain Retreat is your opportunity to host open source events and add them to the Official ETHDenver Mountain Retreat Calendar, just like #BUIDL Week. **Many projects, DAOs and friend groups will be hosting get-togethers at bars, restaurants, homes, etc, throughout the retreat**.‍ A mountain retreat after a conference can provide numerous benefits for attendees. The natural beauty and peaceful atmosphere of a mountain setting can help to clear the mind and provide a refreshing change of pace after the stimulation and activity of a conference.

Additionally, the secluded and remote location of a mountain retreat can foster a sense of camaraderie and community among attendees, as they bond over shared experiences and activities. The mountain retreat can also provide opportunities for team-building exercises, networking, and relaxation. The retreat can also offer a chance for attendees to disconnect from technology, and instead, focus on nature and mindfulness. This can be a great way to help attendees recharge and return home feeling refreshed and reinvigorated.

**I will put together a Lil Nounish meet up at a bar up in breckenridge one of the nights! An ole fashion bar takeover I will buy everyone with a Lil Noun a beer so come on down!**

# High Level

**I will handle production of Content creation throughout duration of ETH Denver and Mountain Retreat.**

### Event Details (Continued)
I have already reserved the venue for 1 of the main 10 days of ETH Denver for an outstanding event. This will include the **full day of the venue**, 10 hours, starting at 12pm- running until 10pm, potentially later!! I have been in communication with the CEO of Webstock and have secured DJ talent for the the evening part of the event. I have spoken with the cannabis sponsor and everything is set on reserve for that as well. I have a few more exciting secret things in the works as well, but cant cite any info here quite yet!

### Mini Bball Tournament

**Branding**
The whole Mini Basketball game will be **branded Lil Nouns**! Multiple flags being hung on the front and sides of the game itself (Pictured above). I will also be redesigning the backboard with a custom designed vinyl decal, designed by a fellow nounish artist in the community!

**POAPs** to enter the tournament (gain access to the the POAP with just an email address). Using an IYK device to distribute, participants entering will be rewarded with a POAP that will help directly onboard to Lil Nouns. I will develop a strategy to include in the body of the POAP, that will drive traffic to Lil Nouns multiple avenues of engagment (Website, Twitter accounts, Discord, Etc.) This will also help to track success metrics of activation itself.

**Lil Nouns Basketballs** I would like to request 50 basketballs be sent to Denver for the event! I have already been in contact with VSVSVS and he confirmed he has plenty on hand ready to be shipped when needed.

**Breakdown of Lil Basketballs**:
* 20- Giftbags
