# Nounify Taipei V2

# Last Year

We collaborated with nouns DAO last year during Taipei Blockchain Week: [last year's proposal](https://discourse.nouns.wtf/t/nounsdao-in-taipei-blockchain-week/2889)

We went above and beyond the original proposal, even going over budget to create one of the coolest noun spaces at a conference in Asia, here's a **must watch** highlight video to show: [NounsDAO x TBW 2023 highlight reel](https://x.com/buzhidao_tw/status/1662857624545812480?s=20)

# This Year

This year we are scaling up bigger after a huge success last year. We want to put nouns glasses on the iconic Taipei 101 landmark building during the conference. *(e.g. Imagine noggles on the Empire State Building in NYC during NFT.NYC)*

The venue's outdoor area is directly next to the iconic Taipei 101 (reference photo from a wedding there), which will give attendees the best view of the huge nounsDAO glasses - in addition, the entire city of Taipei with 2.6 million people.

We have also been actively hosting events in the Taiwan web3 community throughout the year, hosting a pizza party for Pizza Day in Taipei, and collaborating with Nouns running club in Paris by providing food/coffee after the run!

# Proposal

This year Taipei Blockchain Week we have Vitalik and Brian Armstrong confirmed to speak, so will have quite the audience, both local and international.

![https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/standard21/uploads/nouns/original/2X/a/ad2afd2c860115b33be3e78ac23109124871c5f6.jpeg](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/standard21/uploads/nouns/original/2X/a/ad2afd2c860115b33be3e78ac23109124871c5f6.jpeg)

We are connected with the Taipei 101 staff for conference marketing and hope to take this chance to feature the iconic Nouns design on the iconic Taipei 101.

- Nouns DAO will be listed as a conference sponsor
- Noggles/Nouns branding will be featured on Taipei 101 over the course of the conference (for the max duration of what the budget allows)
- Reserved speaking slot for a nouner to share about Nouns DAO experience during the conference
- IRL activations such as noggles / photobooth like last year for everyone to take photos with and share on socials
- Podcast interview with a nouner sharing about nounsDAO on the biggest tech/web3 podcast in Taiwan we co-host a DAO segment with called Blocktrend, consistently featured on top of Apple podcast's home page in Taiwan.
- Collaborate with nouns running club for an official 5K run side event for all the conference attendees

At the heart of this conference is a driven local community DAO from Taipei. Despite the buzz around the Nouns fork, it's vital to remind the world that we're still building, innovating, and pushing boundaries. It's more than just bouncing back – we're evolving and demonstrating that the Nouns spirit is more vibrant than ever.

By championing the local community – one of the most dynamic crypto hubs in Asia – we're not just supporting Taiwan's web3 ecosystem. We're setting a gold standard and lighting the way for others to follow. Let's collaborate and showcase what true community-led growth looks like!

# Cost

The Taipei 101 marketing slot costs ~50K USD daily. While the conference goes from 12/11-16. We're hoping to request 100K to cover the 2 days out of five of the main conference when there is the most attention for web3 in the city. 
_(reduced scope from the first draft of 3 days, 150K based on nouner feedback)_

- Taipei 101 Marketing Cost: 100k
- Noggles order and photo ops: ~1K

Total Cost: 101,000 USDC → 0xc4FA4Cf2820EC4Fe5998c21f117c0F8Ee95c9B9B
