Polkadot Aligned Sponsorship at ProtoLayers 2024 Conference @ Prague
Polkadot Sponsorship at ProtoLayers Conference 2024 @ Prague
Summary
Glazescape, a non-profit organization dedicated to organizing high-quality, community-driven events, is seeking funding from the Polkadot Treasury to secure an Aligned tier sponsorship at the ProtoLayers Conference 2024. The conference, focusing on modular blockchain technology, will be held as a side event to ETHPrague on May 30, 2024. The sponsorship will enable Polkadot to showcase its modular architecture, engage with the technical community, and attract new projects and developers to its ecosystem.
Note: We are currently discussing W3F / Parity participation on this event in terms of speaking slot to present Polkadot’s unique modular approach
Key points
- Glazescape will secure the Aligned tier sponsorship package for Polkadot, which includes a range of benefits such as venue branding, website logo placement, and a large exhibition space.
- Polkadot ambassadors, who will already be attending ETHPrague, will be present at the event to engage with attendees, answer technical questions, and showcase Polkadot's ecosystem.
- Glazescape will provide customized support and assistance to maximize Polkadot's presence and impact at the event, similar to what will be provided to other projects in the Aligned tier.
- The sponsorship aims to drive collaboration and innovation within the modular blockchain technology space and attract new projects and developers to build on the Polkadot ecosystem.
- Success metrics will be tracked and reported to demonstrate the impact of the sponsorship on the Polkadot ecosystem.
- Glazescape is taking no fee for management of this sponsorship, as Glazescape is organizer of the event, however we are still securing t-shirts and will provide Ambassador & booth management

Hello, Good to see a professional and yet humble proposal. The community in the region is strong and Prague is a go to location for Polkadot. You have my support on this.
Hi Damsky,
The Crypto / Blockchain culture is significant in Prague, so on a blockchain related event Polkadot should showcase its high-end technology and friendly atmosphere! :)
