The XOXO festival is a counter example of a "conference" type thing that was kickstarted and has been running for multiple years (aside from recent ones thanks to COVID)
- whatyesaid 3y agoThat appeals 50x more to the Kickstarter general audience. For a PL conference on Kickstarter you're going to need to reach people elsewhere and only rely on Kickstarter as funds and perks.
- detaro 3y agoSeems like it was more using Kickstarter as a ticket shop: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/waxpancake/xoxo-festival https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/waxpancake/xoxo-festiva... ? (175k raised, 160k of that are from tickets)
- jezzamon 3y agoThat's the same as any Kickstarter though, you offer people the product or experience you're trying to build with the funds. The failed Kickstarter in the article similarly offered tickets.
