Polkadot - Talent Land Guadalajara 2025 Experience

[PolkadotMexico]

Hello Polkadot Community!!
greetings from the entire Polkadot México team and agents of the Polkadot ecosystem.

Polkadot México organized Polkadot’s participation in Talent Land 2025, and as a Mexican collective, we’d like to share our perspectives during the event and the impact that Polkadot had in this kind of tech focused event outside of the typical Web3 environment.

For our first time at a tech event of this scale, the Polkadot booth and the talks given on various stages caught the attention of many attendees, who approached us to learn more about blockchain and why Polkadot.

Unlike Web3 events, Talent Land is a technology event with different categories (AI, GAMER, DEVELOPER, FUTURE, BUSINESS, CREATIVE, HEALTH, and INVESTOR). There is also a hackathon that takes place within the event, featuring different tracks over the course of four days.

Vlog by Dotcast - Talent Land 2025 x Polkadot.

Booth

We chose the Gold Sponsor package because the 36m² (6x6m) booth space matched exactly with the booth design provided on Polkadot’s official (Event booth) page. To ensure strong brand presence without having to redesign a booth from scratch, we opted to use the base design offered by Distractive.

The booth’s spacious layout allowed us to carry out various activities while also interacting with a high flow of attendees without any side obstructions. We encountered an issue with the carpet, as the color we needed wasn’t commonly used in events and was unavailable from standard providers. However, we solved the problem by finding a supplier with a carpet similar to Polkadot’s brand colors. As this was our first time representing Polkadot at a global tech event, we paid close attention to every detail.

People constantly approached the booth, attracted by its vibrant colors which we believe is a key aspect of brand image, as it reflects positively on the name. Many asked, “What is Polkadot?” and often assumed it was a company, since the booth was divided into clearly labeled sections (Gaming, Developer, Vote, Enterprise, DAO, Interact). This curiosity sparked questions, especially from those unfamiliar with blockchain technology. As a team and collective, we split into different areas to explain more about Polkadot and its various use cases. We were supported throughout the four-day event by Shawn, Dotcast (Nachito and Roco), and Adrián from Coin Reference, from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. each day.
Talent Land is a four-day event that runs 24/4, meaning the Expo remains open 24 hours a day from the first to the last day. However, scheduled activities take place from 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. The experience was exciting for us, although by the third day, the physical exhaustion of working over 10 hours daily began to take its toll. Still, we enjoyed every moment engaging with attendees curious about Polkadot and sharing our knowledge with them.

Booth Location

We were in a great location, right in front of the Main Stage, which was one of the busiest areas throughout the entire event. Polkadot had excellent exposure in the Future Land section.

The exciting part of the event was that everyone approached asking what Polkadot is, and it was thrilling to explain it in detail. Many had different professional backgrounds, developers, people with startups looking for ways to implement their businesses on blockchain or use a tool for crypto payment adoption, and older professionals who showed genuine interest in learning more and exploring the tools Polkadot offers.

Gaming

In the Gaming area, Adrián from Coín Reference was in charge and demonstrated the success Polkadot is having with Mythical Games. He showcased to attendees some of the most successful launches in the ecosystem, such as NFL Rivals, Nitro Nation World Tour, Blankos Block Party, and upcoming releases expected on the network in June like Pudgy Party and FIFA Rivals. He gave a detailed explanation of how the NFT marketplace works, the collectible cards available featuring different players or in-game skins from Mythical Games, and how Polkadot processes transactions on the network.

Interact

In the Interact area, Nachito and Roco helped us explain the Polkadot Blockchain Academy (PBA) to attendees. They were the ideal people for this task getting developers interested in the PBA since as Dotcast members, they participated in the first edition of the PBA in Buenos Aires. They have a broader perspective of the PBA Campus and are familiar with several developers who, after graduating, have gone on to stand out in various projects within the Polkadot ecosystem.

We also prepared printed materials so attendees could take important information home with them:

• 1,000 PBA business cards.
• 1,000 brochures with basic information about the Polkadot ecosystem.
• A tabletop banner with a QR code that directed people to the official PBA website.

Talent Land is a tech event that attracts many developers from various specialties, including app development, web programming, desktop, backend, frontend, full stack dev, video games, and more. It was essential to showcase the Polkadot Academy at the booth, especially with the new PBA-X program. This hands-on presentation inspired many devs to want to experience it for themselves. Many were interested in the Academy’s achievements, so Nacho and Roco collected information from those genuinely interested (Full Name, Phone Number, and Email). These individuals are now waiting for a chance to enroll in a PBA-X. We would love to offer them scholarships covering either 100% or 50% of the cost. While we are not sharing their personal data publicly for privacy reasons, we would be happy to send the information directly to Pauline, Director of the PBA, if scholarships or discounts can be arranged.

Enterprise

In the Enterprise area, Javier, a member of the Mexican collective, was in charge of explaining to attendees how DeFi works, making comparisons with the traditional financial market, but in this case applied to Hydration. He explained how it offers digital asset trading services and how users can maximize the performance of their assets.

In this section, we covered financial topics by comparing how the traditional banking system or other off-chain financial services operate. Once attendees understood these basic financial concepts, we explained how DeFi works and demonstrated everything using Hydration, how users have full control over their assets and can deposit from exchanges into the DEX, stake tokens, provide collateral, request loans in USDT/USDC, perform token swaps, create liquidity pools, and execute cross-chain transactions.

We made comparisons between the total cost of credit in the traditional Mexican banking sector and DeFi via Hydration, and even the most modest estimates showed it to be up to 10 times cheaper. We also highlighted the lower entry barriers and competitive advantages, such as the absence of payment deadlines or minimum amounts to access decentralized financial services.

Those interested in this section included people curious about crypto, traditional investors, and digital business owners, the latter showing the most interest in integrating these services into their payment applications.

At the end, many attendees were surprised by how easy it is to access decentralized financial services, the stability offered by stablecoins, and the possibility of obtaining stable variable income by providing liquidity to the omnipool or through the lending section.

Build and DAO

In this specific area of the booth, we focused on explaining Nova Wallet, which we described as the best mobile wallet in web3. We also taught attendees how to vote in governance, showing them how to participate in OpenGov and how the proof-of-stake mechanism works including the consensus algorithm used by Polkadot and the concept of nomination pools. With the new feature recently implemented, it’s now possible to vote in governance using DOT from within the staking pools.
In this section of the booth, we helped attendees download Nova Wallet and claim the commemorative NFT we created through dotmemo.xyz. To speed up the claiming process, we covered the minting costs so attendees wouldn’t have to pay any fees and could take home a memento of the experience.

We also had the remote participation of KODADOT, showcasing collections that have been minted within our ecosystem. This was made possible thanks to Luu, who kindly shared several projects that were displayed during the days of our participation.

NFT Collections Created:

• Polkadot x Talent Land
  
• Polkadot Mexico - Limited Edition

We successfully generated 372 new wallets across both NFT collections. However, we faced a limitation during the event: internet and mobile data speeds were extremely slow for both attendees and ourselves. The venue restricted mobile bandwidth due to the large number of people and, at times, the structure of the roof itself, which unfortunately hindered our ability to help more people download Nova Wallet on-site.
However, we thoroughly explained how Nova Wallet works and its many features for interacting with web3. Many attendees were later able to mint the NFT collection once they returned home.

Conferences

The talks held within the different themed lands were a great success, largely due to the strong attendance and audience participation. We are deeply grateful to our speakers for placing their trust in our team. We did experience some setbacks with groups that initially showed interest in collaborating but eventually chose not to participate as the event dates approached. For this reason, as a collective, we are especially thankful to those who took the time and effort to help make this event happen on time and in the right way. We now know that none of this would have been possible without their support.

AI LAND

The first talk took place in AI Land, where Javier and César, both members of the collective took the microphone to educate attendees on the advantages of large language models when trained with high-quality datasets, and the potential of verifying those datasets through blockchain networks such as Peaq Network and OriginTrail.

FUTURE LAND

The second talk was led by Adrián Sancho, a member of the Mythos Foundation. He participated in Future Land, showcasing the benefits of blockchain technology applied to digital assets in video games. He explained how this enables the creation of in-game economies, allowing players to build even more immersive experiences.

DEVELOPER LAND

In the thematic area for developers (Developer Land), Nachito and Roco from the Dotcast team took the stage to share with developers the current state, challenges overcome, and future of the Polkadot network. They covered topics such as the parachain model, the sponsorships we’ve carried out, the mistakes and successes along the way, and the upcoming products arriving with Polkadot Hub and Polkadot Cloud.

Main Stage

The cherry on top was Shawn Tabrizi taking the Main Stage in front of an audience larger than ever before for a Web3 talk outside of a traditional blockchain event.

His keynote featured several key moments:

-The future of Web3
-Polkadot as a pillar of innovation in blockchain
-Clear distinctions between Crypto, Blockchain, DeFi, and Web3
-Energy impact, TPS, Coretime, and JAM
-The meaning of resilience in blockchain
-The PBA, the Treasury, and some key metrics measured on mainnet
-Polkadot doing for Web3 what AWS did for the Internet

It was undoubtedly a turning point for all attendees interested in cloud services, as well as for those already experienced within the blockchain ecosystem.

Even though the talk was in English, the audience on the Main Stage paid close attention. One might have expected attendees to leave for other talks on different stages, but the opposite happened. At all times, we saw people taking pictures and videos of Shawn’s presentation. He managed to capture so much attention that the stage was packed just a third of the way into the talk.

Without a doubt, Polkadot should aim to participate in more tech-focused events like this one.

Merchandise and Rewards

• 350 branded t-shirts featuring the design by Skull on the back and the Mexican TOD logo on the front chest.
• 50 embroidered patches with the new Polkadot Mexico design, styled like POAPs and including an NFC chip for a limited edition mint.
• 40 caps embroidered with the Polkadot logo on the front and another logo on the back.
• 1,500 holographic metallic-finish stickers with UV coating, featuring 8 different designs (Polkadot, DOT logo, Polkadot Mexico, Gavun Wud, JAM, TOD, MYTHOS, etc.).
• 6 Inter Miami x Polkadot edition jerseys.
• 5 Pudgy Penguins plushies.
• 1,000 informational brochures about Polkadot in Spanish.
• 1,000 business cards for the Polkadot Blockchain Academy.
• $1,000 USDT in rewards distributed as prizes through daily raffles with attendees. This amount also helped cover the existential deposit in AssetHub for all newly created wallets (372).

We consider merchandise and attendee giveaways to be extremely important at events of this scale. Since this was a large event lasting over 10 hours per day with a constant flow of people, and our booth was located directly in front of the main stage, we ran out of t-shirts and stickers within the first two days. To address this, we decided to purchase additional merchandise, including the Inter Miami jerseys and Pudgy Penguins plushies, as we hadn’t anticipated the initial stock would be insufficient for all four days of the event.

To manage the supply of stickers, we distributed them steadily across the four days so we wouldn’t be left without anything to offer visitors interested in our booth.

We had previously requested support from Salvatore to donate a few Inter Miami x Polkadot jerseys for the event raffles, but unfortunately, that support did not materialize. As a result, we chose to purchase the six jerseys ourselves using the discount code he provided (“POLKADOT15”). In our opinion, if there is a sponsorship deal in place with Inter Miami, they should be able to support community efforts at tech events like this one by providing some promotional items. This would help increase impact and visibility within the community.

The branded Polkadot t-shirts were particularly eye-catching, but due to limited quantity, we distributed only about 80–90 shirts per day. The dynamic to earn one was as follows:

Given our booth’s high visibility and constant traffic, we offered guided tours through the five different thematic zones to showcase real use cases from the Polkadot ecosystem. The first stop was wallet creation using Nova Wallet, along with a brief explanation of its functionality. At the end of that station, participants received a commemorative NFT and a unique sticker.

They then moved through each zone until reaching the front of the booth, where we verified they had collected all four stickers and the digital collectible.

Once completed, we would ask what they had learned and whether their initial question “What is Polkadot?” had been answered. Those who completed the experience understood that Polkadot is a blockchain that builds technology to develop a new world where Web3 can thrive with more transparency, agility, and resilience.

We continued this process each day until we ran out of the daily t-shirt allotment. However, the booth always maintained engaging activities that rewarded attendees with stickers, raffle entries, and in many cases, participants were genuinely happy just to receive the NFT.

Note: For future events, we strongly recommend increasing the merchandise allocation. Sponsored projects like Inter Miami, Heroic, and others should consider providing free branded items from their stores (with Polkadot editions) for giveaways at major tech events. We believe that if Polkadot is paying for high-profile sponsorships, those sponsors should support community-led efforts representing Polkadot by contributing relevant merch.

USDT Rewards

We distributed approximately 1,000 USDT to all the wallets created during the event. At the end of each day, we held raffles using a spinning wheel with the wallet addresses of the attendees present at that moment. We wrote down the first 4 digits of each person’s wallet address and added them to the wheel to randomly select 18 wallets per day, each receiving 10 USDT.

On the big screen, we displayed the Flappy WUD game, which attracted a lot of attention because it reminded people of the classic Web2 game, Flappy Bird. As attendees approached to play, we explained how Flappy WUD worked and why it was an improvement over the original. We also introduced its meme token, $WUD, and shared how the WUD community organizes mini-tournaments with token rewards. We explained that the game is also accessible via Nova Wallet, allowing users to play directly.

Using the same $1,000 budget, we also allocated 20 to 50 USDT each day for the top score in Flappy WUD, encouraging people to play and have fun.

At the end of the event, the remaining USDT was used to airdrop small DOT fractions on AssetHub to the wallets created, helping preserve them for future use.

Conclusion

As members of Polkadot México and the Collective (Erick, Javier, César, Armando, Amaury, and Rodrigo), we are committed to the growth and education around Polkadot in Mexico. While we are not expert event organizers, our participation in Talent Land sparked a lot of conversation and demonstrated that we are capable of representing Polkadot in large-scale tech events across the region.

For future tech events, we would love to see more Polkadot projects involved and given the opportunity to participate in events with such a massive audience. Our main goal is to truly reach new users and help them integrate blockchain into their projects or to inspire new developers to join the ecosystem.

During the event, we established valuable connections that will help us expand our presence in future events, workshops, and institutions in Mexico.

We made contact with government representatives from Zapopan, Jalisco, and even had a Google developer invite us to host a Polkadot workshop at Google’s offices in Mexico City. Additionally, university directors approached us to organize Polkadot conferences at their campuses.

Talent Land opened many doors for us to carry out activities that benefit both the Polkadot network and its community in Mexico.

Now we’d love to know:

What does the community think about participating in global technology events like this one, which are different from traditional Web3 events?

We took into account some thoughts posted by Shawn at the event at EthDenver in February ETH Denver 2025 Feedback - #3 by shawntabrizi

We’d like to know more about what the community thinks about this type of event.

[w3nerick]

For our first event representing Polkadot at a global technology event, it was a great experience. We had previously participated as speakers in previous editions, but this year we took the next step for this type of events. We hope to have support for the next edition and bring as many founders of projects from the Polkadot ecosystem as possible.

Thank you!! to Shawn, Dotcast, and Adrian for joining us for this edition.

[guido]

awesome work, sirs - congrats!

[Amaurylr]

It has undoubtedly been the result of many years of dedicated work. Let us not forget that it has been four years since some of us first attended, and today we have finally achieved, as a team, the representation of Polkadot as official sponsors of the event. I would like to emphasize that even the collective itself was born from an idea orchestrated at Talent Land Guadalajara. This moment is now etched in the hearts of all our members, the Mexican community, and, without a doubt, the broader ecosystem.

I would also like to personally thank everyone involved in making this dream a reality. There are so many individuals that I would hesitate to mention names for fear of inadvertently leaving someone out.

This has undoubtedly been the most important event we have participated in, due to its magnitude and significance in the journey of our collective—without diminishing the value of any of our previous efforts.

I would also like to express my DEEPEST GRATITUDE to the Event Bounty for trusting our team to bring Polkadot to Talent Land. Without their support, this would not have been possible, and thanks to them, we were able to achieve the goals we had set beforehand.

[0xnigromante]

I’m incredibly proud of what the Polkadot México team achieved during this event. Talent Land was a remarkable opportunity to bring Web3 technologies to a broader, more diverse audience many of whom were engaging with blockchain for the very first time.

The energy at the Polkadot booth was inspiring. It was exciting to witness developers, students, and tech enthusiasts actively engaging with the Polkadot ecosystem, asking thoughtful questions, and exploring the real world use cases we showcased. From governance and DAOs to gaming and enterprise solutions, the impact of our presence was evident.

I’d like to congratulate everyone involved for representing the Polkadot vision with such passion and professionalism. Events like these are a key step in building stronger connections between the Web3 space and the wider tech community in Latin America.

[cesarMx]

We are very satisfied and very happy with the results obtained in the talent land 2025 event, it was an effort of the team, it was a great experience from the first day we arrived until the last, having great references of the ecosystem like Shawn was something incredible, we thank everyone who made this event possible and the participants

[cesarMx]

Srr! thanks ! You had to come ! Next time u must to come !

[JavierReyes5]

It was great to show the power of Polkadot to people who are wondering about cryptocurrencies and web3 capabilities, let’s keep the momentum going and translate that into more innovation to come our ecosystem.

Very proud of the Polkadot Mexican Collective all the ways possible.

[CoinReference]

Good morning, here Adrian! Congratulations to the Polkadot Mexico team

I’ve been to quite a few Web3 and Web2 conferences across Europe, and I have to say that Talent Land has far exceeded my expectations, on par with or even surpassing many conferences I’ve attended
The number of people interested in blockchain technology, the quality of the speakers and presentations, the fun, and the experience of sharing as a Polkadot family have made Talent Land a unique event

Here are some of the highlights:

• The booth was perfectly located in front of the main stage, gaining traction from many people interested in learning about Polkadot.
• The talks on the secondary stages were packed with people, and the information was exquisite. Congratulations to my friends at @Dotcast for their great presentation at Developer Land.
• Seeing my friend Shawn in front of hundreds of people on the main stage explaining the true vision of Web3 and what Polkadot is to Web2 audiences really gave me goosebumps. WOW
• From Mythical Games, I was able to explain, both at the booth and in the talk, amazing products like FIFA Rivals, Pudgy Penguins, and NFL Rivals to hundreds and hundreds of Web2 people, who learned about the vision of Web3 gaming and started playing NFL Rivals, with a lot of hype surrounding FIFA Rivals
• Amazing POAP + Wallet activation during the conference, just congrats!

In conclusion, I just have to congratulate my weys for their great work, dedication, and success during Talent Land Mexico Thanks for having me as one of you and for having such a great time eating tacos haha.

This event really made me realize that we need THIS type of conferences. Showcase Polkadot as a technology with the potential to be applied to the real world and help create a better and trustless future.

Congratulations Polkadot Mexico, looking forward to seeing you next year at Talent Land!

[Nachito]

Hey MX crew! Big congrats again for the awesome event.
Seriously, every single detail was on point. From the Pudgy plushies, to the PBA cards, to everything you set up for onboarding with Nova and all the cool interactions during the event.
You really thought of everything!

I’ve seen you grow over the years, and it honestly makes me proud to see how much you’ve improved your work ethic, honesty, and the commitment.

I’ve got too much to say, but if I said it all they’d probably delete my account
So I’ll just say that, it was an incredible event, one of the biggest Polkadot has ever sponsored.

Thanks for breaking the record for the largest turnout at a Polkadot event, you probably broke the onboarding record too (even if we won’t see that one posted on socials ).

Big thanks to the teams that truly backed this! MYTHOS, NOVA, Leemo, Anton, PBA, and everyone else who supported. Also shoutout to the EB for getting behind the initiative

Se mamaron wey!

[Vikk]

Awesome work! Congrats guys!

[wariomx]

Legends! Solid job, congrats!

[shawntabrizi]

Super happy to have participated in this event. Big thanks to everyone from the Polkadot Mexico team for all their work and making me feel like part of the family.

Here are some of my high level, unfiltered thoughts:

• Events like Talent Land, that are NOT blockchain focused, seemed to work really well for Polkadot and the Decentralized Cloud Narrative. We just happened to be positioned between the AWS booth and the Google Cloud booth.

• It takes a little more work to explain to this audience Polkadot, because you need to start earlier in the history, but I also believe this audience is able to understand more fully the mission of Polkadot. That is to say, from my experiences at events like ETH Denver, there were tons of expectations and “fixed mindset” from the people coming to Polkadot. If we didn’t speak directly on how we were addressing the needs of DeFi, or use every single catchphrase of the latest rollup / l2 scaling story, they would kind of not understand how we fit in and what we are doing.

  On the other hand, with this audience, they were able to more easily follow our story from the Web2 cloud to the Web3 cloud.

• I am pretty unimpressed with the booth. The overall idea of stations and screens and stuff totally looks cool and professional, but there is no story for someone who comes to the booth. Again, basically no emphasis on the prevailing ideas of the hub and the cloud, the ideas of the web3 cloud, or using the screens to tell a cohesive story, more like what you would expect when visiting a museum.

• Videos were playing, but there were no subtitles, so people could not really follow the content. Also the content itself was un-edited long form videos, where i would probably expect us to create more of a highlight reel, or make sure that the videos are telling the key highlights for someone willing to stand and watch for at most 5 minutes.

• Action item at the booth was to ultimately set up a Nova Wallet and register for in-person lotteries and claim NFTs. I liked better some of the ideas from the last conference in Argentina, where we gave users USDC, and then asked them to send it back to us to claim swag. In this case, everyone leaves with a little bit of tokens in their new wallet, which I think is quite important, and they are more engaged with the whole flow of actually using Nova Wallet.

• Action item to the Nova Wallet team is I think you should focus on a better integration between Telenova and Nova Wallet. I think Telenova is such an incredible onboarding tool, and would probably be much easier to convince people coming to any booth to sign up and use. To onboard the telenova user into Nova Wallet, they are required to copy their seed phrase, which I tried to walk someone through, but you can’t just “copy and paste” it, so I had to watch them flip back and forth between apps… It should be that someone onboards to telenova in seconds, and when they want the next level wallet, they can upgrade to nova wallet in seconds too. (import seed from telegram, better copy paste, some dedicated flow)

  I would also prefer then at booths, we start with telenova to onboard people, I suspect we will have better turnover at any stage of the funnel.

• Being a non-Spanish speaker was not bad at this conference, but def I think would make a big difference if we had someone on stage with the same content, but speaking in the native language. I felt like I was almost one of the only main stage presentations in English, which just speaks to how “local” this event was. While we had many great Mexican / spanish-speaking advocates, they are not all experts. It would be amazing to spend more time to turn advocates into experts, and provide more resuable content for them.

• The stage audience was larger than any presentation I have done thus far. At events like ETH Denver, the stage seating is almost empty. Here, every stage was full, along with the booths, which were basically integrated throughout the stages (versus separate areas for stages and booths). It felt infinitely more lively and much more cross pollination. Sometimes, noise / volume from the stage interrupted the booth, but I think the upside of getting all the foot traffic outweighs that.

• I am not so aware of the final cost of the event, but I was told that this was significantly cheaper than many other events that we participate in, and from my experience, this event was bigger and more impactful than many that we have been too. I think there are too many lazy thinkers representing Polkadot who just chase all the flagship blockchain events and pay dumb amounts of money for low impact, rather than spending effort and time to find more events like this. If we can pay for 4 of these kind of events rather than 1 of the crypto conferences, I think we will have more than 10x the impact.

[shawntabrizi]

In terms of content that resonated at the booth, I had my computer out, and was telling the following story, taking a lot from my slides:

• Polkadot is not like most of the current crypto industry:

  • 

• We need to remember why we need Web3:

  • 

  • 

• We need to remember what we promise with Web3:

  • 

• We need to paint a picture of a world using Web3 (we need more slides and examples here):

  • 

  • 

  • 

• To build a better future, we need a Decentralized Computer:

  • 

• And the direction of our future should be obvious if we remember the past:

  • 

• And this is what we are doing with Polkadot:

  • 

  • 

• And we are succeeding / leading the world in this:

  • 

  • 

  • 

  • 

Beyond the slides, I use a few other sites and ideas to push forward our narrative.

• One that we need to include more is the “decentralization” and “visual of the Polkadot world computer”:

  • From the telemetry site:
    

• Companies Marketcap, to show that we are targeting the compute space (1 - 5), rather than just the finance space (mostly starting at 14 onward)

  • 

• The Video from Gav running Doom, explaining that this is a great example that we have really built a computer that can run ANYTHING (although DOOM is not a great example of the kinds of things youd actually run):

  • 

This is the kind of story telling i would want to exist at the booth by default, not something that I have to personally navigate using my computer attached via HDMI to a screen.

[Saimon]

nice work to the mexican team..!

[misterexcel]

I congratulate the entire Polkadot Mexico team for carrying out this activity. Their work is an example for the Polkadot ecosystem worldwide. I hope their experience serves as a catalyst for other activities in Latin America.

[thehodlfather]

I’m very happy to be part of the Mexican collective. Being at Talent Land has definitely been incredible for Polkadot’s positioning. I’m confident that in the coming years we’ll do equally amazing things—or even something bigger—to keep pushing Polkadot forward. What was truly great was seeing so much enthusiasm to learn more about Polkadot and all the new faces. I hope Polkadot now focuses on promoting itself at Web2 events. Being close to companies like Amazon and Google Cloud helped them understand that Polkadot is the future of the internet.
