2. Event Recaps: A fantastic time with We3’rs in Austin & LA!
Saturday morning at SxSW we had so much fun co-hosting brunch with Unstoppable Women of Web3 at the Capital Factory in Austin! Unstoppable Domains has teamed up with 65 companies (including Deloitte, Google Cloud, Polygon, Gemini, Consensys & Blockchain.com) to launch Unstoppable WOW3, a diversity and education group focusing on training the next generation of talent and onboarding women to web3. The event was co-hosted by Sandy Carter, Unstoppable’s SVP & Channel Chief, and We3 Core Team members Tina Dai and Pooja Bhardwaj! Tina shared our vision for We3 - 50% Web3 leadership roles held by women & nonbinary professionals, and 50% crypto assets owned by women & nonbinary professionals! Sandy spoke about how NFTs can serve as our Digital Identity - make sure to ask in the #austin channel if you want to learn more. Not to mention, so many We3 members got to meet together in person and have a blast!
On Monday, we co-hosted with Mavion and Hello Sunshine a special Crypto Cocktail hour dedicated to community building and NFT education! The event was part of Mavion’s roadshow to launch their NFT project, an extension of The Accessory Junkie, a successful Web2 business. In addition to being one of the first NFT projects to include a physical wearable(!!), the Mavion team is onboarding women to crypto through in-person events and curated Instagram content such as the @wagmi.nft account. We3 leaders Laura Du & Elan Halpern spoke on a panel at the event about how we are **so early** in Web3, and talked about NFTs and more! Check out this incredible learnings recap by We3 member Rebecca Orlov, and shoutout to the We3 members we got to meet! We had so much fun at this cryptastic event with lots of feminine power!
