🎙️ Speaker Spotlight!
Nick George
Events and Ecosystem Builder for Crypto and AI, Founder of Dryad.
Ex- Dr. Sushi, Serotonin, Story Protocol.
Meet
@0xNock, an ecosystem and events operator with a foundation in live production, brand experience, and program design. At Story Protocol, he served as Events Lead, managing more than $3M in global event spend and leading flagship activations in Seoul and Denver. His work covered strategy through execution: budgeting, sponsorships, speaker operations, vendor management, and on-site production.
He also designed and launched Surreal World Assets, a builder program focused on traction rather than submission volume. Across two cohorts, the program reached more than 1,900 registrants, supported 75 community events across four continents, and moved multiple teams into active incubation.
Before Story, Nick worked at Serotonin, helping scale event-led ecosystem growth across clients such as Robinhood, PayPal, and Protocol Labs.
Outside of crypto, Nick founded and ran Dr. Sushi - Michigan's first sustainable sushi operation - for ten years out of Detroit. He continues to produce Far Off Sounds, a music documentary series, and Pure Rave, a live performance project he founded in 2016 exploring experimental turntablism through repurposed electronics.
