  • Tour at the web3 space with activations such as 3D Scanners, doodles art on the screens.
  • Giveaways, things like the local RTFKT gathering did in Singapore with prizes like Doodles official merch, Doodles toasties, etc.
  • Token 2049 has gatherings of other communities like pudgy penguins, Rtfkt , and - Doodles must be there to also attract others and that’s why I picked these locations and venues near the main conference areas.
  • Designing the place and giveaways are super important to make it feel like a home for the community and not just another event space.
