The Aragon community invites you to join us in Osaka on October 11th for an evening of entertainment and imagination.

Do you dream about using Decentralized Autonomous Organizations to improve your community? We are offering a chance to help make your dreams come true!

After socializing over food and drinks, we will be hosting a Dream DAO pitch contest - DAICO Edition. Attendees will be able to sign up to give a five minute pitch of their Dream DAICO** for a chance to win a grand prize of 500 ANT and 500 DAI, with a runner up prize of 250 ANT and 250 DAI.

Pitches will be judged by a panel of Aragon community members based on the potential positive impact of the DAICO and the realistic likelihood that the DAICO will succeed when it is launched. Bonus points will be given for creativity and ambition!

After the pitch contest, we will continue partying into the night, chilling and dancing to beats mixed by talented DJs from the Aragon community.

** What is a DAICO? A DAICO is a “Decentralized Autonomous Initial Coin Offering” - a cross between a DAO and an ICO. Funds are raised for a project via smart contract in exchange for tokens, and those tokens provide governance rights to holders about how the original funds raised should be spent.
