Welcome!

Hello Dash Commuinuty,

This proposal offers Dash an exclusive partnership with ITMO University’s Crypto Day conference, including keynote exposure, on-site branding, wallet onboarding, media coverage, and a foundation for long-term community and developer growth.

My name is Artem, and I represent the official ITMO University Blockchain Community — one of the strongest IT universities in the CIS, consistently ranked among the Top 100 universities worldwide in Computer Science. For over 5 years, our community has brought together Web3 enthusiasts, founders, entrepreneurs, developers, investors, and industry professionals. Here's our club presentation.
We have organized 10+ offline and online events, including two events officially supported by the Solana Foundation.
Attendance ranged from 50 to 1,000 offline participants, with 2,500+ online viewers. Our partners include VK, hh.ru, Channel One, and FC Zenit.

I also have over 4 years of experience as an event organizer and at Web3 development (as product owner and project manager), now I’m CBDO at a Web3 development studio. Despite current market volatility, I clearly see renewed momentum in Web3 and would be happy to contribute to Dash’s long-term growth.

Why Dash Should Participate in Conferences Like This

1. The event is co-organized with Bitget, one of the largest crypto exchanges in the CIS market, alongside strong media partners — significantly increasing Dash brand awareness.
2. Conferences provide free media interview opportunities with relevant Web3 outlets.
3. The audience includes developers, founders, entrepreneurs, traders, influencers, and Web3 community leaders, allowing Dash to reach new high-quality users.
4. Viral engagement mechanics (raffles, contests, wallet onboarding) naturally boost community interaction.
5. The event will generate a large amount of professional photo and video content for social media, energizing the community and increasing engagement.
6. This collaboration opens the door to a long-term partnership with ITMO University’s ecosystem, providing direct access to top developers, startup founders, and entrepreneurs.

​
Dash Speaker & Ecosystem Growth
Mikhail Pshenichnikov will represent Dash as a speaker, presenting the project, its ecosystem, and future roadmap.
Additionally, Dash coins will be raffled among attendees who register Dash wallets on-site — directly onboarding new users into the ecosystem.
​
We are interested at Long-Term Partnership with Dash. Following the event, we can organize different events, including hackathons, educational events, online promos. This will help continuously attract new users, developers, and contributors while strengthening the existing Dash community.
