Event Summary with social metrics.
The Polkadot Meetup in Buenos Aires was a small-scale event with 100+ tickets released (for free), 60+ unique visitors, and around 40 participants throughout the event. Key speakers from the Polkadot ecosystem (excluding myself) included:
Overall, my impression about the event was positive and allowed the local community to meet and listen to great talks and workshops. KodaDot provided POAP NFTs for the event.
Merchandise (stickers, T-shirts, bags) was gone quickly. At the end of the event there was a pizza party with beer, and during the event coffee and tea were always available.
A well-organised small-scale event that in my opinion deserves this retroactive funding to make sure Pepe's expenses are covered and that he will continue to be motivated to organize future events.
