Topic: Looking for Community Support for NYC Bitcoin Fair (Read 646 times)
I like what you're doing, as well. Your event sounds VERY similar to the CoinFest we held in Canada. I think we should collaborate.
Your work should be commended... spread the word brotha!
Hi Everyone!
http://www.nycbitcoinfair.com
So we're having the very first NYC Bitcoin Fair in the city with over 30+ food/arts vendors with bitcoin booths and scheduled Bitcoin presentatioins/talks at the fair. We're looking to reach out to the community to those that are willing to support this endeavor. Much of the fair is bootstrapped and its only a few of us volunteering to make all of this happen with what time we can spare.
This fair is modeled after how the open source CMS Drupal community runs their events in NYC (http://www.nyccamp.org/about-nyc-camp). They fund their all day events using help from the community and sponsors that want to help foster the space. They never charge a fee to the public too. I've been to a few Bitcoin conferences and the prohibitive ticket prices turns many away. Also if you noticed at every Bitcoin conference, rarely do you find someone selling food/drinks for bitcoin!
Anyone that would like to be a community sponsor please pm me. Your name and logo would be listed on our event guide and website.
Thanks,
NYC Bitcoin Fair
