To revitalize Cardano's global presence and foster ecosystem growth, we aim to host and participate in a dynamic series of events in 2025 and 2026. These events will target diverse audiences, including developers, enterprises, blockchain enthusiasts, and policymakers, to drive engagement, innovation, and adoption.

The Cardano ecosystem currently faces challenges in establishing a consistent and impactful presence at global blockchain events. Catalyst-funded initiatives often operate under independent branding which rarely mentions ‘Cardano’ which dilutes the visibility of Cardano within the broader blockchain community. This fragmented approach makes it harder for Cardano to stand out amidst the competition.

Competitors like Solana, Aptos, and Sui have established significant brand recognition by strategically aligning global events with developer-focused initiatives.

Their series of hacker houses and hubs—typically held 3–4 times per year—have successfully fostered active developer communities and increased Total Value Locked (TVL) on their platforms. These events seamlessly blend ecosystems, attracting talent and partnerships across multiple chains while solidifying their reputation as innovative blockchain leaders.

Without a similarly coordinated and impactful event strategy, Cardano risks being overshadowed in a competitive landscape. A fresh approach to event planning is essential to position Cardano alongside top players and attract developers, partners, and enthusiasts from across the blockchain ecosystem.

Unveiling the First Unified Global Events Marketing Strategyfor Cardano. We will deliver ‘Cardano’ branded sponsorships at global conferences in 2025 and 2026, managed and planned by the events management experts. Cardano as an L1 needs to be promoted as the brand at these events with no biased 3rd party business objectives hovering around it. We will run a 100% Cardano-focused events and marketing campaign globally at the most cost-efficient manner leveraging our wealth of event experience.
