<p>At Unlock Labs, we’re constantly looking for ways to empower event organizers with the tools they need to create, manage, and grow their event offerings. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a brand-new feature: <strong>Event Collections</strong>.</p><p>Whether you’re an organizer managing multiple meetups or a curator building a calendar of must-attend experiences around an industry event, the Event Collection feature gives you a way to showcase and organize events in one cohesive place that you can share and highlight for your community.</p><div class="relative header-and-anchor"><h2 id="h-what-are-event-collections">What Are Event Collections?</h2></div><p>The Event Collections page is a new type of page within our events app that showcases multiple events in one place.</p><p>There are two groups who will get huge value out of Event Collections: Event organizers and curators.</p><ul><li><p><strong>Event organizers: </strong>Event organizers who host multiple events now have a place to group events together under a single, customizable page. If you’re an event organizer who hosts multiple events, this is a way to showcase all of them in a single place.</p></li><li><p><strong>Curators: </strong>Curators who are collecting side events at a larger event, or who are pulling together a list of events around a theme, now can do so with Event Collections. Anyone can curate and create an Event Collections page for an industry event (e.g. Devcon) or for a larger gathering like Climate Week or Tech Week.</p></li></ul><p>Think of an Event Collections page as a hub for upcoming and past events, displayed in a clean, organized format. Attendees can see key details at a glance, including date, time, location, and attendee previews, all while maintaining a seamless RSVP process.</p><figure float="none" width="653px" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: 653px;"><img src="/images/blog/unlocking-the-power-of-event-collections-and-curation-with-unlock-labs/1f2cd8d22b7a69bb2d28e396b5e420d8.png" blurdataurl="data:image/png;base64,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" nextheight="1622" nextwidth="2064" class="image-node embed"><figcaption htmlattributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><div class="relative header-and-anchor"><h2 id="h-why-did-we-build-event-collections">Why Did We Build Event Collections?</h2></div><p>We built Event Collections in response to feedback from event organizers who manage onchain events that use Unlock Protocol.</p><p>The ability to consolidate these events into one place improves visibility for each individual event.

Unlocking the Power of Event Collections and Curation with Unlock Labs

<p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/papyrus_images/1730986962147cc6f374a9324caaf008.jpg" alt="Unlocking the Power of Event Collections and Curation with Unlock Labs"></p>
<p>At Unlock Labs, we’re constantly looking for ways to empower event organizers with the tools they need to create, manage, and grow their event offerings. That’s why we’re excited to introduce a brand-new feature: <strong>Event Collections</strong>.</p><p>Whether you’re an organizer managing multiple meetups or a curator building a calendar of must-attend experiences around an industry event, the Event Collection feature gives you a way to showcase and organize events in one cohesive place that you can share and highlight for your community.</p><div class="relative header-and-anchor"><h2 id="h-what-are-event-collections">What Are Event Collections?</h2></div><p>The Event Collections page is a new type of page within our events app that showcases multiple events in one place.</p><p>There are two groups who will get huge value out of Event Collections: Event organizers and curators.</p><ul><li><p><strong>Event organizers: </strong>Event organizers who host multiple events now have a place to group events together under a single, customizable page. If you’re an event organizer who hosts multiple events, this is a way to showcase all of them in a single place.</p></li><li><p><strong>Curators: </strong>Curators who are collecting side events at a larger event, or who are pulling together a list of events around a theme, now can do so with Event Collections. Anyone can curate and create an Event Collections page for an industry event (e.g. Devcon) or for a larger gathering like Climate Week or Tech Week.</p></li></ul><p>Think of an Event Collections page as a hub for upcoming and past events, displayed in a clean, organized format. Attendees can see key details at a glance, including date, time, location, and attendee previews, all while maintaining a seamless RSVP process.</p><figure float="none" width="653px" data-type="figure" class="img-center" style="max-width: 653px;"><img src="/images/blog/unlocking-the-power-of-event-collections-and-curation-with-unlock-labs/1f2cd8d22b7a69bb2d28e396b5e420d8.png" blurdataurl="data:image/png;base64,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" nextheight="1622" nextwidth="2064" class="image-node embed"><figcaption htmlattributes="[object Object]" class="hide-figcaption"></figcaption></figure><div class="relative header-and-anchor"><h2 id="h-why-did-we-build-event-collections">Why Did We Build Event Collections?</h2></div><p>We built Event Collections in response to feedback from event organizers who manage onchain events that use Unlock Protocol.</p><p>The ability to consolidate these events into one place improves visibility for each individual event.

<p><em>by Rika Goldberg</em></p><p>In this interview with Zack Guzman, the founder of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="dont-break-out notion-link-token notion-focusable-token notion-enable-hover" href="https://www.bestdishever.nyc/">Best Dish Ever</a>, we delve into a broad range of topics, including community building, DAO cooperatives, the shortcomings of traditional media, on chain memberships and subscriptions, and even a chef’s touching moment. Zack is also the co-founder of <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="dont-break-out notion-link-token notion-focusable-token notion-enable-hover" href="https://www.trustless.media/">Trustless Media</a> and<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="dont-break-out notion-link-token notion-focusable-token notion-enable-hover" href="https://www.coinage.media/"> Coinage</a>. It was an absolute pleasure talking with Zack!</p><p>Best Dish Ever is a community of food lovers in NYC. Community members get to share their voice, earning rewards and perks, while supporting local restaurants. With the help of Unlock, Best Dish Ever is able to abstract away the technical nuances of Web3 and create a membership program that is on chain.</p><p>I love how this quote from Best Dish Ever captures the heart of the community: “Great food isn’t a fad, it’s culture.”</p><p>Without further ado, let’s jump into the interview with Zack!</p><div class="relative header-and-anchor"><h2 id="h-you-have-a-robust-online-presence-what-is-one-thing-that-you-want-readers-to-know-about-yourself-that-is-not-already-shared-online"><strong>You have a robust online presence. What is one thing that you want readers to know about yourself that is not already shared online?</strong></h2></div><p>Zack Guzman: It’s been interesting to see almost everyone agree that traditional media is broken. Having come from the traditional media world, I’m wholly committed to exploring how DAO cooperatives can help realign incentives in the next era of the internet.</p><div class="relative header-and-anchor"><h2 id="h-most-people-who-take-the-plunge-to-work-in-blockchain-have-a-falling-down-the-rabbit-hole-story-what-is-yours"><strong>Most people who take the plunge to work in blockchain have a “falling down the rabbit hole” story.

Did your undergraduate degree prepare you for the level of technical proficiency needed to run an on-chain media company or was there a steep learning curve?</strong></h2></div><p>ZG: As much as everyone wants to make crypto a tech story, I think the best projects have actually nailed everything beyond the technology itself. Look at how many Layer-2s or Layer-1s there are. How many are actually being used?</p><p>I studied behavioral economics, which focuses mostly on incentive structures and why we make financial decisions. The most beautiful thing to me about Bitcoin and now web3 actually isn’t the tech — but how you can use the tech to re-align incentives to serve a community.</p><p>Bitcoin pioneered that in finance, but I believe getting that piece right will come to revolutionize entire sectors beyond it. Luckily, that is getting even easier as more projects build the infrastructure for less tech-proficient founders like me to pick up the ball and run with things.&nbsp;</p><div class="relative header-and-anchor"><h2 id="h-how-does-best-dish-ever-a-community-for-foodies-fit-in-with-your-long-term-vision-of-coinage-and-trustless-media"><strong>How does Best Dish Ever, a community for foodies, fit in with your long-term vision of Coinage and Trustless Media?</strong></h2></div><p>ZG: At Trustless Media, we are empowering creators to leverage the power of the communities they have already built. We believe incredible network effects get unlocked when creators can build <em>with</em> their followers and not just for them. That really hasn’t been possible on the internet until web3 introduced the concept of co-ownership.</p><p>I was the first guinea pig that Trustless helped support by building out Coinage as a DAO cooperative. We’ve attracted a community of co-owners (members who are NFT holders) who are not only able to unlock token-gated content, but are also legitimate co-owners in the brand we’re building. We spent a year digging into the legal process and set up a path for our NFT holders to become official members with a path to patronage dividends.</p><p>In that sense, we are building a blend of Kickstarter and Patreon mixed with onchain co-ownership. We have seen it work in the crypto news space, and now in the food space with some incredible creators working with us on Best Dish Ever. </p><p>Frankly, I think this structure can and will work in every media niche and we look forward to working with more creators to help them do the same.</p><div class="relative header-and-anchor"><h2 id="h-best-dish-evers-business-model-is-based-on-membership-tiers-that-unlock-perks-some-people-may-say-that-this-results-in-exclusivity-what-are-your-thoughts-on-that"><strong>Best Dish Ever’s business model is based on membership tiers that unlock perks. Some people may say that this results in exclusivity. What are your thoughts on that?</strong></h2></div><p>ZG: I actually think having membership tiers <em>reduces</em> exclusivity. (Chris Dixon has a great<strong> </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="dont-break-out notion-link-token notion-focusable-token notion-enable-hover" href="https://future.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Screen-Shot-2021-02-27-at-12.56.46-PM-1536x321-1.png"><strong>pricing chart </strong></a>on this). That is, the idea is to meet the consumer where they are at, rather than a one-size fits all pricing model. Our tiered membership model separates enthusiasts who care so much about something they don’t merely want to consume it — they want to influence it.</p><p>For example with Best Dish Ever, we learned that most people might just be passive fans of food. Maybe they just want to find suggestions of restaurants to try. But others are passionate foodies. They want to influence our content and be tastemakers in the category. Our superfans want to co-own this with us and steer the project.</p><blockquote><p><em>Offering the ability to “upgrade” from being a passive viewer of content to being an active voice and co-owner has unlocked some really powerful network effects for us. I see it as a win-win, rather than a way to exclude.</em></p></blockquote><p>Offering the ability to “upgrade” from being a passive viewer of content to being an active voice and co-owner has unlocked some really powerful network effects for us.

For Best Dish Ever, we partnered with Unlock Labs and used Unlock Protocol to make it as easy as possible for people to join our community whether they are crypto natives or not.</p><p>Considering we teamed up with creators who are culinary experts and Food Network stars, we knew a lot of the fans drawn to Best Dish Ever wouldn’t necessarily have experience with NFTs or crypto and didn’t want that to be a blocker. Having support from the Avalanche ecosystem means we’ve brought in a fair number of foodies from that community as well.

Did your undergraduate degree prepare you for the level of technical proficiency needed to run an on-chain media company or was there a steep learning curve?</strong></h2></div><p>ZG: As much as everyone wants to make crypto a tech story, I think the best projects have actually nailed everything beyond the technology itself. Look at how many Layer-2s or Layer-1s there are. How many are actually being used?</p><p>I studied behavioral economics, which focuses mostly on incentive structures and why we make financial decisions. The most beautiful thing to me about Bitcoin and now web3 actually isn’t the tech — but how you can use the tech to re-align incentives to serve a community.</p><p>Bitcoin pioneered that in finance, but I believe getting that piece right will come to revolutionize entire sectors beyond it. Luckily, that is getting even easier as more projects build the infrastructure for less tech-proficient founders like me to pick up the ball and run with things.&nbsp;</p><div class="relative header-and-anchor"><h2 id="h-how-does-best-dish-ever-a-community-for-foodies-fit-in-with-your-long-term-vision-of-coinage-and-trustless-media"><strong>How does Best Dish Ever, a community for foodies, fit in with your long-term vision of Coinage and Trustless Media?</strong></h2></div><p>ZG: At Trustless Media, we are empowering creators to leverage the power of the communities they have already built. We believe incredible network effects get unlocked when creators can build <em>with</em> their followers and not just for them. That really hasn’t been possible on the internet until web3 introduced the concept of co-ownership.</p><p>I was the first guinea pig that Trustless helped support by building out Coinage as a DAO cooperative. We’ve attracted a community of co-owners (members who are NFT holders) who are not only able to unlock token-gated content, but are also legitimate co-owners in the brand we’re building. We spent a year digging into the legal process and set up a path for our NFT holders to become official members with a path to patronage dividends.</p><p>In that sense, we are building a blend of Kickstarter and Patreon mixed with onchain co-ownership. We have seen it work in the crypto news space, and now in the food space with some incredible creators working with us on Best Dish Ever. </p><p>Frankly, I think this structure can and will work in every media niche and we look forward to working with more creators to help them do the same.</p><div class="relative header-and-anchor"><h2 id="h-best-dish-evers-business-model-is-based-on-membership-tiers-that-unlock-perks-some-people-may-say-that-this-results-in-exclusivity-what-are-your-thoughts-on-that"><strong>Best Dish Ever’s business model is based on membership tiers that unlock perks. Some people may say that this results in exclusivity. What are your thoughts on that?</strong></h2></div><p>ZG: I actually think having membership tiers <em>reduces</em> exclusivity. (Chris Dixon has a great<strong> </strong><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" class="dont-break-out notion-link-token notion-focusable-token notion-enable-hover" href="https://future.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Screen-Shot-2021-02-27-at-12.56.46-PM-1536x321-1.png"><strong>pricing chart </strong></a>on this). That is, the idea is to meet the consumer where they are at, rather than a one-size fits all pricing model. Our tiered membership model separates enthusiasts who care so much about something they don’t merely want to consume it — they want to influence it.</p><p>For example with Best Dish Ever, we learned that most people might just be passive fans of food. Maybe they just want to find suggestions of restaurants to try. But others are passionate foodies. They want to influence our content and be tastemakers in the category. Our superfans want to co-own this with us and steer the project.</p><blockquote><p><em>Offering the ability to “upgrade” from being a passive viewer of content to being an active voice and co-owner has unlocked some really powerful network effects for us. I see it as a win-win, rather than a way to exclude.</em></p></blockquote><p>Offering the ability to “upgrade” from being a passive viewer of content to being an active voice and co-owner has unlocked some really powerful network effects for us.

For Best Dish Ever, we partnered with Unlock Labs and used Unlock Protocol to make it as easy as possible for people to join our community whether they are crypto natives or not.</p><p>Considering we teamed up with creators who are culinary experts and Food Network stars, we knew a lot of the fans drawn to Best Dish Ever wouldn’t necessarily have experience with NFTs or crypto and didn’t want that to be a blocker. Having support from the Avalanche ecosystem means we’ve brought in a fair number of foodies from that community as well.
