1. Where is the official website about the event?
We have plans to launch an official website dedicated to tracking all activities related to Acala Connect 2025, activities including its objectives, schedule, venue, and the Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) involved.  The website will also serve as a platform to showcase the innovative products of the Acala Network. While awaiting the approval of the proposal, my team and I have been in discussions with developers to create a comprehensive website.
If there's any specific information you’re looking for, we’re happy to prioritize it


2. Initially, the proposal was conceived in December, with a plan to allocate over two month for publicity and community partnership acquisition. However, since the proposal was only presented for on-chain voting in January, I have been in discussions with my team to review and adjust the event date to March 2025. This revised timeline will provide us with ample time to build momentum, secure sponsorships, and ensure the success of the initiative.

So, going forward we have made progress in the various areas:
Pre-approved partnerships: We’ve already lined up key service providers, including venues, caterers, and marketing agencies, to fast-track logistics.  
- Crowdsourcing and community support: We will be in talks with top Crypto/Blockchain communities being we understand the significance of community in such event.

What proof of fund usage will you provide afterwards?

Transparency is key. Post-event, we will provide a detailed financial report that includes:  
- Itemized expenses with receipts.  
- A comparative budget showing planned vs. actual spending.  
- A breakdown of costs per attendee, ensuring clarity on fund utilization.  
This report will be accessible to the Acala network Co-founders and team members as this build trust and accountability.

 What kind of reporting will you provide?
 
We will submit a comprehensive post-event report that includes:  
- Quantitative Metrics:Attendance numbers, demographic insights, and engagement levels.  
- Qualitative Feedback: Testimonials from attendees and partners to highlight the event’s impact.  
- Media Coverage: Links to photos, videos, and press mentions.  
- Lessons Learned: Insights for future initiatives.  
This report will be shared on our official website and through relevant community channels to ensure full transparency. 

Let me know if you’d like additional details or revisions, and I look forward to your support with an "aye"!

please think about to provide both reports to the community, maybe in a shorter form. As the community votes for this and approve your spending this way, we interested in the project should know the costs per attendee and costs per new user and budget vs spending as well.

Thank you for your input and suggestions. We appreciate your concern and have taken them into consideration. The community and the team will be kept updated with all the details of the Acala Connect 2025.

To ensure transparency and informed decision-making, we will prepare concise reports for the community. These reports will include key details such as costs per attendee, costs per new user, and a comparison of the budget versus actual spending. As the community approves spending, we aim to maintain clarity and accountability throughout the process.

Let me know if you’d like additional details or revisions, and I look forward to your support with an "aye"!
