Types of Events You Can Organize

Here, you will find examples of events you can organize. Events are not limited to this list. If you have a creative idea, propose it in the event proposal form.

During the early stages of the program, we will focus on smaller and more tight-knit community events. As the program evolves, we can explore larger events like Hackathons. However, if you have an idea for a bigger event, propose it, and it will be reviewed.

Event Categories

The three main categories of events you can organize are as follows:

1. IRL General Events - Local Meetups & Networking Informal and nontechnical gatherings to foster community connections and discuss blockchain, Avalanche, and related topics. Think local meetups, game nights, and networking in a fun, casual environment where people can engage. Once you have established a local Avalanche community that you know actively partake in the ecosystem, community/builders dinners and drinks are a great way to have fun and build a connection.

2. IRL Tech Events - Workshops & Seminars Educational sessions focusing on Avalanche technology, blockchain, and development tutorials. These can be organized in local universities, or you can find a local space that will allow you to host the event. For example, local blockchain clubs, universities, enterprise incubators, co-working spaces, etc.

3. Virtual Events Virtual events to reach a broader audience, focusing on various aspects of the Avalanche ecosystem, are great (e.g., an X space or Arena stage about an upcoming NFT mint on Avalanche). You can also organize virtual events for the Avalanche community that do not necessarily have to be Avalanche-focused but bring the community together to have a fun time and build that connection (e.g., gaming nights in Discord, poker tournaments)

Find Existing Local Communities To Integrate Avalanche

It’s helpful if a location in your community already has potential attendees for your event. For example, in a university, you will have a number of classes that you can promote your tech workshop to. A local blockchain club will already have a community of people interested in blockchain, so it will be easy to host something like an "Introduction to Avalanche" event followed by drinks. A co-work space will have a flow of digital nomads and people who work online, many of whom may be interested in blockchain. Try to identify spaces in your local community that already have a Web3 community for you to integrate Avalanche into.
