Host your own TON Breakfast

Cookbook: A Guide to Hosting TON Breakfasts

This comprehensive guide is designed to assist you in organizing your very own TON breakfasts, dinners, lunches, or informal gatherings. Whether you are a TON Society enthusiast or simply intrigued by the world of cryptocurrency, this networking event offers an ideal platform to connect with like-minded individuals, exchange ideas and projects, and foster collaborations with others.

If you're eager to get started, join us in the chat here, where you can announce upcoming breakfasts, extend invitations to participants, and receive support from the community.

The concept of TON Breakfasts is to promote networking, collaboration, and growth within the TON Society. These gatherings can take place during breakfast, lunch, or dinner, and participants engage with each other in any format they prefer.

The number of attendees usually varies from 2 to 20 people, and the cost per person typically ranges from $5 to $10. There are two options for handling the expenses: you can either organize a self-paid breakfast where attendees cover their own costs, or you can arrange the breakfast and request reimbursement from the TON Society afterward.

Update on TON Breakfasts in Nigeria

Thank you for the overwhelming interest in TON Breakfasts across Nigeria. Due to the high demand, we are streamlining the process of events moving forward to ensure better coordination.

All future TON Breakfasts will be managed through @TonNigeriaChat, with @Uchenna_Agams and members of TON Square coordinating the scheduling.

Reimbursements via @tonbreakfast and Typeform are now closed. Reimbursements for events announced by Dec 28 will proceed as usual. We appreciate your understanding and support.

Step 1: Plan

To begin, you'll need a minimum of two individuals with an interest in Web3-related topics. The basic setup involves gathering over a meal and discussing TON-related topics.

The key objective here is to share your knowledge about TON, get more developers to join TON Nest, and create a foundation for a regular cozy chill meetup.

Post your TON Breakfast announcement on the chat here.

Review the inventory of the ingredients we have for you: it is a good idea to share a TON Introduction presentation with the participants, invite them to the TON Nest and TON Breakfast chats.
