What a week with @nftnyc-official & /permissionless NFTNYC took place @ the Marriott Marquis in Times Square; fantastic choice for visitors. The central location makes it easy to enjoy the city & stay connected to everything NYC has to offer. Permissionless, on the other hand, was held all the way down in Industry City, Sunset Park, Brooklyn. In my opinion a major faux pas. It’s a long drive, parking is a hassle, & public transit or uber are both time-consuming & inconvenient; even on a normal day, now imagine all that during a 100 degree Tuesday. I doubt even locals from Brooklyn found it convenient. & for out-of-towners? It’s a tough sell compared to the Marriott in Times Square. The after-parties in the city were, as always, a great opportunity to connect and meet new people. I had a great time at @pizzadao after in @station3nyc across from the charging bull! Had a great time meeting new faces & onboarding new members: @pilarcote @yonks @jimicohen @andyhyfi.eth @ledropwithcheese @erichiez

I believe it’s worth having a serious conversation about aligning one of these conferences with @farcon as an annual event at the Javits Center. I’ve seen firsthand how impactful it is when complementary conferences take place under the same roof & on the same dates at Javits Center; people from around the world can easily move between conferences, simply by walking down the hall. This year in May some people came for /farcon-nyc, others came in early June for NY Tech Week, and then others came end of June for NFTNYC, and/or Permissionless. It was nearly impossible to attend NFTNYC & permissionless because how far apart they were. Now imagine if 2 or 3, best all 4 of these were held together at the Javits Center. It would be a win-win for all organizers, especially for out-of-town visitors who could attend multiple events in one location, saving time, energy, & logistics. There needs not be association between the conferences except using the same location and dates to maximize out of town attendance

Just think about the scale of Comic Con NY at the Javits Center! last year alone, it drew over 200,000 attendees over three days. $99 entry makes it accessible to more people. A similar model could work here: increased attendance across conferences could allow for lower ticket prices, while still generating major revenue. Each event could maintain its own space in different halls of the Javits Center, but come together for one massive, cross-community networking cocktail party, a shared moment that adds value for everyone involved. 🚀🚀🚀 cc @adrienne
