This proposal aims to cover the costs of Polkadot's participation (spearheaded by the Web3 Technologies Foundation) as a Block 3 sponsor at the Coindesk Consensus conference, which was held from April 26-28, 2023, in Austin, Texas. It includes a 20 x 40 booth, 15 participating ecosystem teams, branding on conference materials and main sponsorship of the Coindesk anniversary event. The proposal also covers Polkadot’s participation in the Coindesk Consensus hackathon, called the “HackerEarth Web3athon”, which occurs between April 17th (start of hacking) and June 30th (winners announcement). Seven ecosystem teams participated under the Polkadot brand to promote their own prizes and challenges.The event was attended by over 20,000 participants from around the world, including entrepreneurs, executives, Web3 creators, NFT collectors, brand and marketing professionals, government officials, and blockchain developers. By participating as a sponsor, Polkadot showcased its ecosystem, healthy growth of its community, and the quality of its technology. As the flagship event in the industry, Consensus offered an excellent opportunity to form connections with new builder teams, convert those considering Polkadot, and support the growth of ecosystem projects while amplifying their adoption efforts.Further information on the proposal, including milestones, budget, agenda, participants and more can be found on **THIS LINK!**Note : This proposal was meant to be re-directed to go through Events Bounty, however the event bounty process is currently paused, hence the proposal is posted here without further delay.
