@ethkyiv.near [Posted on DevHub](https://near.social/#/devgovgigs.near/widget/Post?id=1617) ## Idea: ETHKyiv Hackathon and Conference π May 3-5, 2024 π Kyiv **Event Introduction** ETHKyiv is Ukraine's premier community-driven Ethereum event and aims to establish Kyiv as a leader in infrastructure development. Three days of Hackathon, Conference, and Side events are a journey of innovation, learning and creation. **Organizer Introduction** The main ETHKyiv organizer is the Web3go Π‘ompany, founded by Sergey Sevidov. We are a team of Ukrainian professionals in Web3 who have gathered an active crypto community around itself. We hold dozens of events worldwide annually, but we are most active and recognizable in Ukraine and Portugal. In May 2023, we organized ETHKyiv DayZero with over 700 guests, more than 100 companies, 25 speakers, and 4200+ online viewers. DayZero was a prelude to Ukraine's premier community-driven Ethereum event; it came with the official announcement of this innovation festival, the beginning of the public goods portion of our hackathon, and special previews of the thought and industry leaders supporting our efforts. This bright event was supported and attended by all significant Ukrainian communities, industry leaders, and authorities. **Event Impact** ETHKyiv will be focused on localizing global resources to regions and communities that need them and gathering efforts and energy to support Kyiv becoming a hub of innovation. Ukraine, its people and economy have been hit hard by Russian aggression and have many social and economic challenges. Many developers, professionals and entrepreneurs cannot leave the country and have no access to exchange information with their colleagues, participate in offline hackathons, or attend leading events and conferences. Through this, we hope that the city and those connected to it will be able to foster a growing impact on furthering the transparency and democratic governance of resource allocation and access to public goods. Through these efforts, partnerships, and the companies that grow out of them, we aim to ensure Kyiv will continue to grow to be a leader of modern development and a resource for communities ready to rebuild. **Key Performance Indicator** We expect: Hackathon with over 300 developers Conference with more than 1500 attendees 10 000+ stream views Over 1 000 000 audience of media and community partners **Funding Request** We are requesting $2000 as a bounty for developers of socially influential solutions and for organizational expenses. **Additional Information** Our company has been cooperating with Near for a long time. We have an active partnership, distribute tickets for NearCon, raise awareness and knowledge about Near at our events, and look forward to continuing to develop our long-term collaboration.
