DYGYCON 9 strong during holiday
DYGYCON 9 welcomed 1653 registrants to join the crypto community in the metaverse! We didn’t quite hit our goal of beating DYGYCON 8’s registrant numbers perhaps due to the United States national holiday, Memorial Day, that took over that weekend. We came in close though! Much love and thanks to all that made this event possible!
You can still check out the archived venue, however you will not be able to enter SWAG or participate in any of the time-sensitive events such as the NFT auction, Achievement Badges, and Scavenger Hunt.
The team is working on creating pre and post event experiences and planning is now in the works. Join the recently-created DYGYCON Discord server! Share this link with your friends: https://discord.gg/sfjAJuWZHp

Feedback

Highlights
Here are some personal experiences shared.
- I was all over Dygycon once I got in. I got to talk to alot of people who I normally dont interact with becuse were all separated by Telegram and DIscord chats. This brought a bunch of us together without feeling chastised for looking around and checking out other collections. I added a few new collections to my wallet and learned so much from so many people. I cant wait until next year, I cant wait to take a bigger role in next Dygycon event and make it even bigger.- Getmossed
- when i was watching hive booth youtube video i found yabapmatt!!! - Arkruby
- Always good to see all the wax creators in there. Its like we connect on a personal level. - Anonymous
- #Dygycon9 certainly took my mind off the whole weekend! This is what I have shared so far, this time is properly compiled:

- More SWAG, customizations, competitive strategy games for prizes
- Physical merch would be great, sold over the internet.
- Clear idea of what I could do and what the options are for being able to fully enjoy the space.
- NFT Art Gallery displaying real NFT art
- more staff / volunteers helping out
- More than 35 people per instance & Ability to mute / kick people as a creator
