*Update May 7, 2025.
**Learned that the Jup/Meteora team will also be attending NYC Solana Accelerate. They may consider merging events so I am deprecating this post! **
We’ll be focused on self-hosting new events at crypto conferences where their team has no presence to cover more ground. Cheers! - Rich
Given that our last IRL Workshop with SuperTeam Canada was a success, we are planning to have a larger event in New York.
On May 17-24th, The UltraLP team is attending the Solana Accelerate event in NYC.
Our last event, partnered with Meteora & Superteam Canada, reached our expected KPIs:
- 50 people registered, 51 people attended
- 22K impressions in 5 days
- 14.6k views from our recap video
- 839 X engagements
- 40% of audience were women
- 16 people signed up for the LP contest, 15 were new to Meteora.
- 4 people were profitable by end of the workshop.
- 1 user won $100USDC with the highest P&L.
- UltraLP: registrations that lead to new LPers for Meteora: 35
Total spent: $350
Given the institutional focus of Solana Accelerate NYC, we plan to invite local financial professionals to introduce them to Meteora’s capabilities for decentralized market making. The event is a workshop - indepth look into Meteora x UltraLP’s capabilities for on-chain market making.
It will be catered towards Tradfi industry professionals and crypto asset managers.
Our strategy: by re-introduction of institutional attention and funding to Meteora’, we can potentially return Meteora’s TVL back to $1B. This will increase Meteora’s FDV upon $MET airdrop - benefiting the community.

Given that this is a significantly higher-end event compared to our last event, I am also open to hosting a more grassroots more economical event at a local bar. However, IRL events like this could be an exciting opportunity to engage a different types of demographics. In our last event, we had a few tradfi engagements which gave us the spark for this one.
Schedule total time event time: 90 minutes, space booking 180 minutes.
