Proposal: 2024 Polkadot Decoded China Satellite July 27-28 (Time TBD, usually two weeks after the Flagship Decoded)

Proposal: 2024 Polkadot Decoded Asia (Singapore) September 16 -17 (During the Singapore Token 2049 week)

Polkadot Decoded’s Flagship event will be held at the end of June 2023 at the Øksnehallen in Copenhagen. This is the biggest yearly conference focused on all things Polkadot. It brings together the Polkadot community, web3 enthusiasts, new/curious DOT holders, and builders to hear about developments in the Polkadot ecosystem. To align with the global Flagship event and continue the excitement with the regional focus at the strategic local markets of the Polkadot community, a grand satellite event covering the Asian region ( China, Japan, Korea, Singapore and the rest of SEA) will be held on July 15th and July 16th at Shanghai/China (exact location is TBD and the dates will align with the rest of the regional satellite events).

The 2023 Decoded China event will therefore create pivotal experience to the fast growing Polkadot China community and the nearby markets such as Korea, Japan, Singapore, Vietnam and the rest of SEA. The China satellite event will feature presentations, panels, workshops, demos and aligned regional events (i.e. regional hackathon), delivered in the language of Chinese or English. The latest update and news of the Polkadot ecosystem teams, Parity, the Web3 Foundation and the community KOLs from Asia will be shared. The event is focusing on the content curated for a higher-level and border audience, as well as for decision makers, investors, entrepreneurs and Web3 Medias.

The target audience will be crossing over all six of our target personas: Business Decision Maker, Technical Decision Maker, both from startups and Enterprises interested in Polkadot, Builders from teams in the Polkadot ecosystem, DOT Holders, Developer, Polkadot enthusiasts and supporters. Polkadot Decoded China aims to be a general assembly for all things Polkadot/Kusama happening in Asia with a main focus of the China market.

Along with one main stage with the presentations, demos, panels and flagship event (Decoded Copenhagen) highlight playbacks, 2023 Decoded China satellite event will have networking areas, private meeting areas, exhibition areas (for parachain and ecosystem teams) and one after-party to celebrate with the community. The China satellite event aims to have between 300-500 attendees, 25 speaking slots (presentations, demos, panels and Copenhagen highlight session playbacks are all included), 20 exhibition booths (for selected parachain teams and the Substrate-based ecosystem projects), and one Substrate job fair.

The 2023 Polkadot Decoded China satellite event will be facilitated and hosted by Aitijia’er, an event agency based in China, who produced the 2020 Web3 Form @ Shanghai (Web3 rebranded towards China due to the regulation concern) and 2022 Decoded China @ Hangzhou.
