Seems good to be adjacent to DevConnect so that Polkadot folks can understand what is happening in Ethereum. Past conferences have suffered from inability to pull people from outside the ecosystem, but interested to give WebZero a chance to scale up to a larger event here.

It's important to hold the main conferences during the year, such as Sub0 and Decoded. These conferences can attract developers, users and capital from outside our ecosystem. They also have value for agents within the ecosystem. We are on the Aye side with this, and the budget seems reasonable as well. It's also a plus that they are scheduled to coincide with Devconnect in Buenos Aires.

I think it's a great decision to hold this event in Buenos Aires, especially alongside DEVCON. Personally, I believe we will have a significant positive impact as a result of this event.

I hope this event can attract as more as possible attendances. Looking forward to see the final report. If the number is still disappointing, we should consider whether it's necessary.

Hi everyone and thanks a lot for the trust and support! W1ZSPR3 we show the last numbers from sub0 reset in Bangkok, which aligned with Devcon and had about 70% of outside eco guests. This event is just bigger and aims to be THE polkadot global conference that is held once a year, giving half of the agenda to "decoded topics", which is a big change. Alignment with other ecosystems is at the core of what we want to achieve here, Ethereum being the most relevant one in our industry.

Best,

Roman
