Events
Live programming and real-world execution led by Shibo.
While much of Shibo’s work takes place in live Spaces and decentralized systems, his role in the development of in-person events has become equally significant. As a lead organizer, content director, and on-site host, Shibo has helped shape the event infrastructure behind several of the most notable real-world crypto activations in 2025.
These events are not promotional stunts or side projects. They represent an extension of long-term community building and proof-of-performance for brands operating across media, NFTs, DAOs, and token ecosystems.
DDNYC
• New York City
• June 25–27, 2025
• Lower East Side
• Partner: TAO Hospitality
• Attendees: 200 holders, 24 VIP
The first large-scale event under the Doginal Dogs name, DDNYC took place over three days in downtown Manhattan. The program included a rooftop day party, a live band performance at Silver Lining Lounge, an evening event at Loosie’s, and a closing dinner for VIP ticket holders.
All 200 tickets were distributed at no cost to top community members. Some later traded for thousands of dollars on the secondary market. Holders received over $1,000 in exclusive merchandise on-site, including apparel, collectibles, and physical tokens.
Feedback from attendees placed the event among the highest-rated crypto IRL activations to date:
• Overall Experience: 9.7 / 10
• Value of Experience: 9.8 / 10
• Branding Visibility: 10.0 / 10
• Likelihood to Attend Again: 9.9 / 10
No sponsors were involved. All logistics, programming, and content were managed internally by the Barkmeta and Doginal Dogs teams, in partnership with TAO Hospitality.
DDVegas
• Las Vegas
• October 15–17, 2025
• The Venetian Resort
• Partners: TAO Hospitality, The Venetian
DDVEGAS is a multi-day event designed as a counterpart to DDNYC. While the New York event was focused on community, music, and brand culture, the Las Vegas edition reflects a higher level of production, scale, and experiential design.
Programming includes nightlife access, a full-scale merch drop, and a hospitality flow built with the support of the TAO and Venetian logistics teams. Attendance is invite-only and reserved for Doginal Dogs holders.
No tickets were made available to the public.
Futurist Conference
• Miami
• November 5–7, 2025
• Miami Convention Center
• Role: Sponsor, Speaker, Exhibitor
Doginal Dogs and Barkmeta will participate in the 2025 Futurist Conference as a confirmed sponsor and speaker partner. This will be the brand’s first major activation in the Miami market.
Christian Barker will appear on-stage under the Barkmeta name. The Doginal Dogs brand will also be present across co-branded materials, digital signage, and community meetups hosted around the event. A dedicated team will operate on-site across all three days.
Ongoing Expansion.
Shibo continues to lead the planning, strategy, and logistics for the team’s in-person programming. Events in additional cities are under development, with plans to build a modular circuit for both domestic and international audiences.
