PEER Summit 2019 (peersummit.co) Amount: 375 Dash We want to RENEW DASH as a premier sponsor of PEER Summit, a leading event in crypto that brings together thinkers, entrepreneurs, social impact leaders, authors and founders in the blockchain space for a 3-day weekend retreat.
The weekend is mix of curated keynote presentations and convenes moderated group sessions with an eye towards outcomes, collaboration and real conversations around the possibilities of crypto and the work ahead. The summit is invitation only and guests and content are carefully curated. Each one is sought to be made unique and exceptionally high quality. The belief is that strong community emerges through people spending high quality time together and we believe DASH will benefit by engendering good will and partnership with this key group of people creating projects in crypto.
The inaugural Summit weekend which took place January 5th-7th 2018, for which DASH was a premier sponsor, included a mix of some of the leading investors in crypto and included many established as well as aspiring founders. It included keynotes from author Ryan Holiday of Perennial Seller and from the DASH community, Amanda B. Johnson and Chuck Williams. The weekend was roughly 1/3 international, coming in from many different parts of the globe, gender balanced and included content on everything from social impact, to token launches.
Aside from Amanda B Johnson and Chuck Williams we had other members of Core attend the event as well as other MNOs.
One of things we did with the previous sponsorship was to commission an immersive art experience (paid entirely in DASH). Jessica Angel (jessicaangelarts.com) used adhesive vinyl to turn a gathering space at the event into an immersive

In addition this installation we had 4 other artist/musicians who were a part of the event and were also paid directly with DASH for their contribution to the weekend.
We invite anyone to connect with any of people from Core or otherwise who attended the event for their feedback of the quality and caliber of the attendees and experience.
We want to renew DASH sponsorship for the next PEER Summit which will occur January 10th-13th 2019 and are planning to lock in premier sponsors in the coming months. Included in the sponsorship:
1. 5 DASH Core/DASHCommunity registrations for the summit including a per diem and travel expenses. Again these are specifically for members of DASH Core or other key members of the DASH community to attend the event. It’s worth noting we have already received feedback from the previous DASH speakers and attendees that several are planning on and interested in being a part of next year’s event.
2. 5 scholarships for social impact crypto founders, including a per diem and travel expenses to attend the event. With these invitations we would seek to sponsor ones that could be strategic for the network. For instance, last year we connected Work Around Online with Dash to explore using it as solution for their platform.
3. Premier Sponsorship of the Summit: This is a sophisticated crowd and for the last Summit we sought to make to the sponsorship creative and authentic through keynotes and sponsoring artist. We are planning to do something similarly creative and authentic again and pair that with educational content from a keynote or two about DASH and the progress the community is making.
Thank you for considering the proposal and we encourage anyone who attended to share their perspective on this recent summit and the upcoming event next year.

How is this possible?
Regarding the budget; the registration prices for the event are more expensive this year since the conference has been expanded to cover additional days. Also because the event was successful for DASH and ended up attracting the perfect group for this kind of sponsorship we wanted to do more with this proposal. For instance, the Social Impact component adds roughly $30k but we believe that kind of thing engenders good will for a long term positive approach and actually helps people by connecting them with an ecosystem of partnership. Doing good aside, we think those kind of sponsorships will lead to a greater chance of those founders implementing DASH on their platforms.
We encourage anyone to connect with Core members or MNOs who attended the Summit to get their feedback. From our perspective it really is a unique event in crypto which attracted some of the largest investors and several of the founders of projects seen as leaders of the pack. Also, the community around this Summit is a strong, connected, collaborative group still and the exposure for DASH there was especially positive. We have worked to be thoughtful on the proposals we have passed and stewarded in partnership here and hope that the community appreciates our efforts.
