Decentralized Event Management & Marketing Protocol on Blockchain
Introduction
We liked it and we took part in the event. Everyone must have participated or even hosted an event, be it a music concert, comedy show, stage party, or party (personal). The show industry is one of the oldest but ever increasing industries. Day by day, thousands of events occur all over the world. As an event manager, organizing an event is not an easy task. From planning, hiring the right people and doing the right marketing, the whole process takes time. Many events need to be canceled, because there are too few participants, mainly because the network is small or marketing campaigns are not working properly. By using blockchain technology, a solution to this problem offered by a project called "KickCity" was found.
What is KickCity?
KickCity is a Decentralized Event Management and Marketing Platform blocked. The main idea behind KickCity is connecting people through blockchain to expand the network. This idea is realized with a reward system, where each participant can benefit from the whole system.
How does this work?
When a new event is defined, vendors can allocate KickCity-Tokens (KCY, more later infos) to their reward-based marketing campaign. At the start of the campaign, each participant can take part in the event by generating unique links, similar to referral links, through smart contracts. Smart contracts can track activities performed, such as how many times a link has been clicked and how many registrations / sales have been made. Each participant can share links on their own network (eg by notifying friends on social media platforms, social media chats, and so on). With each correct registration and purchase, the prize will be allocated to the "advertiser", but also the cashback given to the buyer in the form of a KCY token. Event ticket purchases can be made via BTC, ETH, KCY and Fiat money. As most event attendees pay FIAT money, KickCity will also receive FIAT, but will pay prizes at the KCY token to offer FIAT a quick solution to Crypto, but also to maintain its economy. So in a nutshell, but take part in KickCity, not just event managers who benefit from new event participants, but also advertisers and buyers get rewards of KCY tokens and cashback. The following graph summarizes how this works. not just event managers who benefit from new event participants, but also advertisers and buyers get rewards in the form of KCY tokens and cashback.

KCY-Tokens:
As mentioned above, have KCY-Tokens become the official crypto from KickCity for their ecosystem. Token will be used for example by the event manager to create their marketing pool, but will also be appreciated for promoters and participants, who share and participate in the event.
Here is some information about KCY tokens and sales:

- End Date: 31.03.2018
- Target: 12.5 million USD
- Total amount: 250 million KCY
- Total number of sales: 160 million KCY, unsold KCY will be burned
- 1 KCY will cost you 0.1 $
- Payment method: BTC and ETH
- There will be a bonus for the initial investor (15% on day one, 10% for days 2-10, 5% for days 11-20)
Budget will be used to:
- 50% marketing
- 30% development and team
- Administration 13%
- 7% contigency
Roadmap:
KickCity has a very clear road map, indicating that they have achieved quite a lot. Among these are App Early Releases in Q4 2016, Event Platform in Q2 2017, but also many developments and use cases of blocking. Currently KickCity is preparing for their upcoming token sales and will expand their project later this year. Surely we will soon see a more detailed roadmap.
Team:
KickCity not only has a great CEO, who has a lot to play in promoting this project (see picture on the website), but also has many experts on the team. Among them they have a lot of IT and development experts, but also great marketing and designers (see their pretty website). To find out more about the KickCity team, just visit the official website.

My opinion:
KickCity I think is a very interesting project, aiming to help the beeing event more successful and also have better customer targeting. I am very impressed with the idea of the project in general and think that with better marketing, the show industry could grow even bigger in the years ahead. Blockchain technology allows projects like KickCity to emerge. With existing apps for iOS and Android, KickCity is already the base they can work on. I am very excited to have used KickCity in the future for my private events (I'm doing music concerts), but also love to spread the word on my network and also benefit from a great rewards system.
