**Applicant**: PolkaWorld

**Retrospective Funding Amount**: 907 DOT

**Reason for Request**: Polkadot HK Event

Following the success of hosting Polkadot Side Events during the 2023 Hong Kong Web3 Festival, PolkaWorld organized an offline Polkadot Event on April 5th, 2024 at the Fringe Club, a popular hotspot in Hong Kong. The event was held in collaboration with **9 projects** from the Polkadot ecosystem and **4 venture capital firms**. The event aims to bring together Polkadot community enthusiasts and builders to discuss Polkadot 2.0 and potential market trends following its resurgence. As hosting an offline event was not included in the task list of the [previous proposal](https://polkadot.subsquare.io/treasury/proposals/425) submitted by PolkaWorld, we will apply for retrospective funding to cover the operational costs associated with this event.
