I've attended multiple ETHDenvers, cosmoverse, devcon, and ethbarcelona with Vlad, and every time i've been blown away with the impact the dude has. this is coming from someone who has over a decade of experience going to conferences to shill. vlad shines at these events, and is an incredible ambassador for Gnars. ROIs from conferences are always hard to measure; i don't know any projects in our space that are able to say "we spent X on the conference and can directly attribute >X in revenues." the connections made and seeds planted with amigos around the world who are deep in our space are priceless though. I'm also excited about the potential for shorter form content blending shredding with hacking to appeal to skaters outside of web3, especially when they find out they can get rewarded for their gnarly content. I've only met the rest of the team virtually, but look forward to meeting and shredding with them IRL in thailand <3
