The FarCon Mint went… not like we thought it would 😂 @grin and I are circling up this morning and want to hear from you about how we make @farcon something this community would love to attend. We know people want to get together, so what missed the mark? https://i.imgur.com/5gnOgAj.gif

My guess is that people (like me) who were originally signaling "no-brainer to attend" were subconsciously assuming a non-significant ticket cost. But once there was a semi-significant cost, it just cascaded into some sort of "public goods game" 👇 https://i.imgur.com/2jDoP1G.png

Need more information. What should we expect? Why should we go? What’s in it for me? It’s a high bar to overcome without knowing what to expect - mint and pay for ticket - clear schedule - get to boston PS. I’m still going to try to make it but need to figure out some logistics first

I haven't been here very long, but my first thoughts: Why June? Why in Boston? What's the rough plan/agenda? I had my summer plans pretty much solidified by January, so it wasn't in the cards for me. But I still don't really know what the purpose is, other than hanging out

I would guess sticker shock + lack of clear itinerary The Nostr 'unconference' in Costa Rica was free, subsidized by Jack

Conferences are driven by fomo But the mo needs to come first What that means is you don’t have a lineup of high profile speakers Conference todos in order 1. Date/location 2. Headline Speakers 3. Secure initial sponsorships 4. Call for speakers 5. Start teasing ticket sales

Following up on our telegram convo: I think getting a sponsorship from @purple is totally reasonable, especially due to how integrated this event is with the FC community Again in addition to subsidized tickets I think everyone needs more clarity on the agenda bc getting to Boston already adds a layer of friction

I think it would have been nice, if Farcon happened before, during or after another big web3 event, eg NFT NYC. I assume all the farcasters who traveled to NYC for the event would stay longer / travel to Boston for Farcon. It could be to costly to travel to Boston only for Farcon.

If you want to organize it as a side event to ETH Global Waterloo in June (outside Toronto) or ETHcc / ETH Global Paris in July — I’d be happy to help and to provide some sponsor $’s There’s also ETH Global NYC in September at same time as Mainnet

A sliding payment scale with ticket tiers would make it more approachable ppl pinching their pennies. For example: - 0.04: 🎟️ gen admission - 0.08: 🌭 jumbo ticket w/ lg fries - 0.16: 👕 I supported farcon tshirt

Ticket price too high to justify given no clear agenda on the website (already sent on telegram but posting here in case you’re consolidating feedback on this thread)

Was expecting tickets to be around $100-$150 🥲 Maybe if you lowered price and tag teamed with the dates of an ETH conference (like having it before or after) you could get higher attendance!

General thoughts (based on my experience in community building, human connection, & events) that may be applicable here too: Even though often the main takeaway is ✨vibes✨from unconference time and hangouts, to get people show up in the first place they need an agenda formatted into a value prop they are used to.
