EVENT REPORT
5th Dash Caracas Conference with Samuel Barbosa
We had the honor and the pleasure of having
@Samuel Barbosa as a special guest and the speaker for our event. We picked him up from the airport and he began to live the DASH experience: his
driver was paid in DASH, his lunch in
Restaurant Alto Mar was paid in DASH, and that evening we held a welcome meetup in
Gourmet Planet, also paid entirely in DASH. (
Here is the entire photo album)
This was possible thanks to our
Entrepreneurship Program, lead by
@Hanny Figueroa Dash Ccs
through wich we teach merchants how to accept DASH as payment.
As part of the preparations, on friday February 23rd we held a workshop specially designed for the press, called:
"DASH - DIGITAL CASH and other criptocurrencies for journalists". (Here is the entire photo album)
On saturday February 24th 2018, our fifth conference, entitled
