Update October 15th 2024:
We received feedback stating that we should have a developer, solutions architect, or sales engineer accompany us. Most developers will be at the Sub0 event in Bangkok. However, we found a volunteer!
Luka from PBA Hong Kong will join us!
He is very technical and can explain in more detail which solutions would be most appropriate for each use case.

Hello everyone,
PolkaBiz (represented by Christian and Mario) will attend the Web Summit event in Lisbon from November 11-14. With over 70,000 participants, this is one of the largest web2 events in Europe.
Our mission:
We want to explore whether Web2 companies are open to integrating blockchain technology to solve their business challenges. If yes, could Polkadot provide the solutions they’re looking for?
Why it matters:
We want to determine if Web2 events like this can help attract more businesses and enterprises to the Polkadot ecosystem. We believe Polkadot has the potential to offer solutions that surpass traditional cloud providers and even other blockchain protocols when it comes to solving real-world problems.
Our strategy & KPI’s:
We’ll focus on quality over quantity, targeting 50 selected C-level executives. Our funnel approach is as follows ;
Post-event, we’ll compile a comprehensive report detailing our findings and the opportunities we uncovered for Polkadot.
This discussion post aims to gauge the community’s thoughts about us asking for a future tip to cover our travel and accommodation costs (total approx. $2,200 for both of us).
Of course, we will provide a detailed report and proof of expenses after the event.
Why we didn't go through the event bounty:
The event bounty is not applicable to what we want to do. We won't have a booth or anything like that.
We look forward to the feedback from the community!
Mario & Christian
