Context
Fingerprints has been promoting networking among its members with annual meetings. In 2021, we hosted a members’ event during Art Basel Miami and in 2022, during NFT.NYC.
We had the impression that hosting our annual meetings during such events would help to increase attendance, but we realized that there is too much going on and members’ agendas are usually hectic.
Proposal
To host a one-day event in NYC on May 5th to Fingerprints members and guests.
One of our investors, USV, will let us use their new office. They have a nice rooftop where we can start the event in the afternoon and go into the night (maybe 4-9:00 pm). Please see the photos of their last event here (only available to Fingerprints members).
The venue holds up to 100 people. We are thinking of doing the first 1-2 hours to Fingerprints members only and then inviting people from outside the DAO. USV said it could invite people from their invested companies as well. It could be an excellent opportunity to make more people know about us and get new members. 2 invites will be granted per FP member.
Fingerprints’ members f1cken#7092 and Klamt.eth#3962 will coordinate the event with the USV team.
Ideas of how we could exhibit our collection are welcome. Some ideas are using the displays at USV, displays by Generative and a CNC plotter to print Autoglyphs on-site.
We would also like to take the opportunity to launch the Fingerprints membership NFT at the event.
Please find below the estimated budget based on USV’s past events. We haven’t included a DJ or sound equipment because USV said they usually use playlists and their own sound system. We could use apps such as Raina and Spotify and have members suggest songs for the playlist.
