New Proposal Items: 3rd Latin American Bitcoin Conference 2015 &#8211; Mexico City &#8211; $3.808.00 We are very excited that we were able to secure a speaking opportunity at the highly renowned 3rd Latin American Bitcoin Conference this year. It is taking place in Mexico City and last year the event took place in Rio de Janeiro. Past speakers of this event include Erik Vorhees, Andreas Antonopolus, Tony Gallipi and many others. Please check the details at:\u00a0www.labitconf.com At laBITconf, we will be presenting Dash to business representatives, industry experts and potential end users, and giving an update about Evolution as we prepare for the Miami keynote. We will be sponsoring a booth to exhibit Dash and talk directly to as many people as possible. The cost of this exhibit is $2000. Beyond that we (Daniel and I) are requesting that our flights and hotel be refunded as follows:  Evans flight cost: $564 Daniels flight cost: $644 Hotel cost will be approximately $150 a night for each of us, totally $900.  The North American Bitcoin Conference &#8211; BTC Miami &#8211; $4160.00 Another recent announcement was made for our appearance at BTC Miami on January 26th! This is going to be our platform for officially showing a prototype and much more information about work on Dash Evolution. The Bitcoin Miami event is the place to be for a new and exciting cryptocurrency project like Dash. When we\u2019re not presenting, we would still like the opportunity to reach out to people and teach them about Dash. To achieve this we are looking into exhibit opportunities at BTC Miami to allow us to reach more people at a cost of between $1500-$2000. Any excess funds will be used as part of the public awareness budget. We (Daniel and I) request that our flights and hotel costs be refunded as follows:  Evan\u2019s flight cost: $350 Daniel\u2019s flight cost: $610 Hotel cost will be approximately $200 a night for each of us, totaling $1200  Amsterdam Bitcoin Wednesday Promotional Costs &#8211; $934.00 When we prepared for the Netherlands presentation, we used some of our own resources to pay for the professional slides and a banner.
