The objective of the event is to introduce the not-for-profit community to blockchain and establish Giveth as a thought-leader in this space, for potentially further engagement. Second, this is a 'test' event to gauge interest from the not-for-profit community. The estimate is 100 people, a mix of social impact blockchain projects, students and not-for-profits, and potentially even bilateral development agencies. This could also lead to a much larger event in 1 year for a 1000-2000 person event in North America or Europe.
the live Google doc resides here (to be moved into the Giveth Drive) - link - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KI1TXp-2pD946FQL_FeVK2o1yoTyk3DXSAoSBX5UWm0/edit?usp=sharing
Feel free to comment on the event to make it even better. Note because of budget, we are constrained to bringing in people within the Montreal/Toronto area. If you know of good speakers in this area, please let me know.
