How to plan the right event to grow your crypto community

Engaging and growing the community in the cryptocurrency market is critical. Events play a vital role in this effort by providing platforms for education, networking and promotion.

As digital currencies and blockchain technology redefine financial interactions, the creation of a perfect phenomenon can greatly affect the growth and cohesion of the crypto community.

Planning the perfect Crypto event

Luri Fernandez, an event planning and organizing expert at Blockchain Week in Caracas, emphasized the importance of comprehensive planning. According to her, the success of such events depends on detailed preparation, inclusion of agendas, delegation of responsibilities and consistent follow-up.

This systematic approach ensures that every aspect of the event is aligned with the overall goal of community development.

Venue selection is also an important aspect of event planning. Fernández told BeenCrypto that we carefully evaluate our space to adapt or choose a space that fits the requirements of the event. This decision, closely tied to budget constraints, can seriously affect the success of the event.

Fixing the space offers customization but at the cost of additional costs. Therefore, budget considerations are very important in this decision making process.

“The type of space, the costs, the capacity, the layout and the possibilities of meeting the technical aspects are always points to be found. Spaces can often be changed to the place we want, but this creates additional costs, so the budget from this point of view plays a fundamental role,” explained Fernandez.

Tools to better organize and plan

Incorporating technology into event management is essential. Arlette Salas, Head of Development at Hive, who has extensive experience in event organization, spoke to BeInCrypto about the importance of using efficient event management software. Tools like Google Docs and Notion offer flexibility and responsiveness, in today's fast-paced planning environment.

These tools help maintain schedules, track costs, and ensure all team members are updated in real-time.

“I believe user experience is the key thing to consider when choosing software. The easier it is to use, the easier it is for the team to adapt to. Another important factor is multi-platform, as you can read performance updates from your mobile phone while you're doing something else. And finally, the software should generate usage statistics.” It's important,” Salas said.

Promotional strategies are also key to growing the crypto community. Ezio Rojas, online community building expert and community manager at Polkadot, discussed with BeInCrypto the impact of social media on attracting and integrating audiences. Customizing content for platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Discord can greatly improve community engagement, creating buzz around the event.

Similarly, search engine optimization (SEO) is an important element in this context. Rojas highlighted the importance of attracting new ones to the ecosystem, not just existing crypto enthusiasts. An optimized event website that provides important information such as agenda and speaker details can decisively influence attendees' decisions.

“The event website is a key element that cannot be ignored. A successful website should have the following components. First, a clear section so that the visitor can find everything they need. Second, logical colorimetry. And finally, faster loading speed,” Rojas emphasized.

Speakers and sponsors are key.

Both Fernandes and Salas emphasized the importance of a balanced mix of subjects. Incorporating controversial issues and diverse perspectives encourages discussion, enriching the audience experience. Therefore, the choice of speakers and the nature of the activities should match the theme of the event, ensuring a cohesive and enjoyable experience.

Attention to detail is another critical element in event management, as Salas points out. The quality of services such as food and accommodation and well-trained staff can greatly enhance the overall experience. Keeping track of the latest trends and tailoring the content of the event accordingly will ensure its relevance and appeal.

“Creating a special event doesn't always mean spending a lot of money or doing amazing things. It's about paying attention to things like good food, good drinks and having a team of staff or volunteers who are attentive to the needs of sponsors, speakers and attendees,” added Salas.

Finally, sponsorship is essential to the success of the event. According to Rojas, finding sponsors can be a challenge for new events. Demonstrating credibility and delivering on promises are key to building lasting partnerships that are valuable for future editions.

“Sponsorship is very complicated because everything is based on promises for the first time. That's why you make a very high-quality event and deliver what is promised. A satisfied sponsor is a sponsor who can continue the event you want to launch in the future,” said Rojas.
