Great work, plan to take the next 2-ish days on closing out and following up

Brainstorm

• Post a photo on Twitter and tag Manifold
  • typical festivals have prizes for uploading and sharing content with the festival’s tag, i.e. uploading a pic and hashtag will give you a 1/1000 chance of x mana.
  • [i] Ask people to post about their favorite moments on Twitter, will make those who didn’t come get some fomo.
  • Start drip campaign with photos from the event
• Tweet spicy excerpts from talks
  • Possibly include actual video of talk
  • [s] drip campaign over next few weeks to space out content
    • [A] yeah good idea
  • [i] attendee testimonials?
• substack post
  • Someone could do a writeup of the festival. Could be in one week though
  • [J] Will do a later substack post with the content of my talk [A] +1
• [s] can we use Nate Silver’s likeness to promote content?
  • [A] a bit hesitant to be just “selling content” — okay if eg Nate or Aella or someone posted/talked about it, or eg to take an excerpt from his talk. Don’t want to imply an endorsement that he hasn’t actually made; our trust with speaker is really important
• Publicly say we intend to do Manifest 2024?
  • [s] should share the market! https://manifold.markets/Dilon/will-manifest-be-hosted-again-in-20?r=U0c
  • [A] Oh, a “get notified about Manifest 2024” email list would be great. No commitments yet tho [J] +1 🔥
• Any plans for the Manifest Discord?
  • [A] Not sure — don’t think enough people are just casually chatting in there
  • [J] Ask for testimonials?
• [A] Ask Brooke if she wants to promote Manifest on Twitter
• Cleaning up the venue

Immediate (next 3 days) action items

What are simple things we can do to in the next few days

• [Stephen] Send NYT reporter an email highlighting all the positive parts of Manifest/Manifold

  • [A] fwiw I did do a ~20m interview with NYT folks and demoed manifold, but follow up is good
  • Manifold is the largest prediction market site by traders, bets, markets
  • NPS for event was 90% (or whatever)
  • Send links to talks
  • [i] add how trustworthy our markets are, this is something Dylan highlighted. They get emails from all sorts of randos. Have to stand out why our tool is worthwhile.
    • Brier score, calibration chart
    • Offer to send a shirt “Prediction markets They freaking work!”
  • [i] add a market or two to embed in the article.
