Hi, @roelandp.

You asked the right and timely question.

I think that any events during HiveFest should not be funded with DHF funds unless these events generate revenue that will be returned DHF.

At the same time, I ask a related question:

Why not turn HiveFest into a full-fledged annual crypto conference that generates revenue for its organizers?

I know organizers of similar events who could help organize this with the involvement of sponsors and visitors.

Such cooperation will allow the world to learn more about HIVE, and the organizers of the event to protect their business interests.

For example, next week in Kyiv will be held the crypto conference Incrypted (https://incryptedconference.com/en).

Last year, this conference gathered more than 3 thousand participants.

And it took place in Kyiv during the war.

Among the sponsors and partners of the conference were well-known crypto exchanges and crypto media.

I think the organizers of this conference will be interested in taking part in HiveFest in Barcelona in September this year.

If you're interested, I can give you the organizers' contacts.

If you can agree on a joint organization of HiveFest, the HIVE community and everyone involved in organizing the event will definitely benefit from it.
