Burning Money

Crypto Events Done Well

95% of crypto events lose money.

Why?

  • No clear outcome.

  • No measurable ROI.

  • No defined audience.

I can already hear marketing nerds saying "but we're building brand awareness."

Right.

"Awareness" that your team wastes money on mediocre experiences?

The ETHDenver Reality Check

Teams dropping $50K+ on event spaces with:

  • Zero strategy

  • Zero follow-up plan

  • Zero audience definition

Here's What Actually Works

The top-performing crypto events do three things differently:

  1. Target ONE audience precisely Not "crypto enthusiasts" – be specific. "Solidity developers building DeFi protocols" or "DeFi founders seeking L2 solutions."

  2. Design for measurable outcomes Don't just serve drinks. Create experiences that drive specific actions – wallet connections, testnet deployments, partner signups.

  3. Track everything Every attendee, every interaction, every post-event metric. Data tells you what worked.

The Brutal Truth

If you can't articulate exactly who should attend your event and what specific action you want them to take afterward – cancel it.

Save the $50K for something that moves your project forward.
