Why should Dash participate in conferences?
1. Major industry players are present with physical booths, making it far easier to connect with them than through online outreach. This includes marketing teams, business development, and listing departments.
2. Conferences offer opportunities to give interviews to media outlets at no cost.
3. Influencers, traders, Web3 enthusiasts, and community representatives from different regions attend these events - providing a chance to introduce Dash to new audiences.
4. Conferences allow us to create real, non-AI content from high-profile events. This energizes the community and significantly boosts engagement across social media.

Comment: The conferences are still ongoing, but one interview has already been given to a major Hong Kong media outlet, Techub News, with two more interviews agreed upon. In addition, initial connections have been established with representatives from Circle (USDC), CoinMarketCap, Alchemy Pay, Mighty Academy, Aster, and 1inch.

I actively share my work with Dash across my social media platforms.
Primary:
- X (Twitter): @dariachernozub - https://x.com/dariachernozub

Additional:
- LinkedIn: Daria Chernozub - https://www.linkedin.com/in/daria-chernozub-33a34b57
- Instagram: @chernozubd - https://www.instagram.com/chernozubd
- Telegram: @chernozubdb / @chernozubd / @endlessthought8 - mostly via Stories
- Facebook: dasha.chernozub - https://www.facebook.com/dasha.chernozub

It’s also worth noting that I distribute content within the Dash community and stay in close contact with the teams managing Twitter and Instagram, so my content regularly appears across the official Dash channels as well.

Part 2
I previously launched ambassador programs and local community hubs for Super Protocol and ICP. I would like to apply this experience within Dash. Together with Yaroslav, we have started preparing the first stage of an ambassador program (a budget-friendly pilot version to test this approach for Dash) - including the concept, platform selection, task design, budget estimation, and resource planning.

We will present the draft of the Ambassador Program as a pre-proposal next month.

Part 3
Getting contacts at conferences is only the first step. What truly matters is continuing the dialogue afterward: negotiating listings, discussing joint marketing activities, and communicating Dash’s current progress. This is full-cycle business development work. Below are the results achieved so far and the interim outcomes of these efforts.

- Established communication and began ongoing negotiations with representatives from Tether, Bitget, CoinW, Bitkub, LBank, Bitcoin.com, and GRVT. Joel is included in the threads. The required documentation and data for these conversations are still being collected, and this work is actively in progress.

- Preparing joint marketing activities with MEXC Thailand.

- Gave five interviews: three already published, with content repurposed across Dash social channels.

- Actively participate in Dash Spaces and maintain regular communication within the community.

- Organized a 50-person meetup during Token2049 (260 registrations) - with zero budget.

- Built a partnership with Crypto Job List, securing free access for posting Dash-related roles.

- Began work on promoting pshenmic’s team and its development achievements (DevRel) within a build-in-public approach.

- Assisting with the preparation of a long-term collaboration proposal with Cointelegraph (a pre-proposal will be submitted to the Dash community for review).

- Managing outreach to local marketers across Asia to identify the most effective strategy for expanding Dash’s presence in the region in native languages (a similar effort is underway for the CIS region).

- Nearly completed the Dash ecosystem glossary for newcomers - scheduled for release this month.

- Posted the vacancy for pshenmic’s team and currently act as HR support (promotion of the role + first-round screening).

What do we need?

Part 1 
Tickets: 21 + 150 USD
Accommodation: 1300 USD
Flights: 970 USD
Local transport + food + ferry: 1300 USD
SIM card: 20 USD
Total: 3761 USD

Part 2 and 3 
3000 USD

In total:
6761 USD / 140 DASH

Due to the high volatility of the DASH price, the amount I received last month ended up being approximately 1,000 USD lower than expected.
For this reason, I have slightly adjusted the work-related portion of the budget to compensate for the shortfall from the previous month.
