  • Carlos Melgar has been running these events for a long time. You can see pictures from numerous events he has done by diving into the linked twitter account. While these events are not bankless specific, they do onboard users to optimism. We want to leverage his experience and replicate these events around the world. Another point in our favor is all the contributors have previously done atleast one event with the Global Events crew hence we are confident about leveraging the experience of contributors in producing content and organising events to deliver optimism specific onboarding events.
