# Marinioac invited to speak at Art Basel and Miami Blockchain Week following Prop 685 approval

### TLDR;

[Marinioac](https://warpcast.com/marinioac), founder of [Precious Noggles](https://preciousplastic.com/noggles) and creator of [Prop 685 Good Noggles is a prescription Precious Noggles for kids forever](https://nouns.wtf/vote/685), has been invited by [Robin deLisser](https://www.linkedin.com/in/robindelisser/) to participate in Art Basel Miami and Miami Blockchain Week from Dec 2-8. 

Robin, impressed by the impactful work Marinioac has done with Nouns, crypto and recycled plastics, reached out after watching the [short film by Circle](https://www.circle.com/pt-br/stories/beyond-borders-usdc-a-global-community) and following the approval of Prop 685.

From there, Robin invited Marinioac to speak and participate in at least 10 events during Art Basel and Miami Blockchain Week as a Nouns ambassador, highlighting the community's values of innovation, sustainability, and positive impact.

To date, three speaking engagements have been confirmed, with the potential for three or four more. This exposure will help Precious Noggles expand its mission to create a positive impact for the planet.

**This proposal seeks funding of 4,640 USDC for this marketing opportunity, which arose as a direct result of the approval of Prop 685 and, therefore, was not anticipated when it was initially submitted.**

**Due to the event's proximity, travel costs are slightly higher**, especially for the international flight. The trip will span 9 days and 8 nights in Miami, speaking at 3 to 7 events, representing Nouns through Precious Noggles and Prop 685.

The costs for this trip were not anticipated in Prop 685 because this marketing opportunity arose as a direct result of its approval and, therefore, could not have been included when the proposal was initially submitted.
