Cardano Summit Promises A New Experience Of Virtual Conference
The Cardano Summit 2021 is scheduled for September 25-26. Taking place in both virtual and physical space the summit is expected to announce some big news around Cardano ecosystem.
There has not been much concrete details about the Summit. But, it was known to be a “mix of virtual and live events from around the world.”
Input Output Global (IOG), the company behind Cardano development, emailed out further details on Tuesday, revealing what they meant by “virtual.” Instead of simply being remote, the Summit will feature the exploration of virtual worlds combined with a typical conference setup.
As expected, being a novel approach to crypto conferencing, expectations for a blockbuster event are high. Doubly so with the promise of “mind-blowing” announcements during the event.
High Expectations For The Cardano Summit
Last week, Sidney Vollmer, the Head of Brand and Comms at the Cardano Foundation, sent a teaser on Twitter about mind-blowing partnership announcements at the Summit.
“Don’t really want to brag or anything but…
some of the partnerships we’re announcing at the Cardano Summit will blow people’s mind. Really grateful for the chances we at Cardano Stiftung [Cardano Foundation] have to change the world for the better, and have fun together.
Tune in.”
IOG had rolled out smart contract functionality two days before the tweet. Future dApp development is something of a hot topic at present.
So far, information on who these mind-blowing partners are remains under wraps.
Nonetheless, that doesn’t mean known promising projects aren’t racing to launch. For example, to name a few, Liqwid Finance will bring decentralized lending and borrowing money markets to Cardano. There’s also SundaeSwap, keeping the food-themed naming convention intact while offering decentralized token exchanges.
However, as far as Vollmer’s news is concerned, we’ll have to wait until the Summit. Fortunately, it’s only a matter of days away.
What To Expect From The Summit
Cardano Summit is the inclusion of virtual worlds for users to explore. They are named Main Stage, Utility, Governance, Impact, Adoption, Catalyst, and Community.
Like in a virtual world game, attendees can interact with others in a “speech bubble” when in close virtual proximity.
There’s also a raft of videos, including the thing investors most want to know about, news of major announcements. As well as updates and interviews over the two days.

– Avatars that let you talk to community members from around the world
– 48 hours of exclusive content
– 80 exclusive videos from keynotes to major news announcements, updates and interviews & community showcases

Available via desktop and mobile, but desktop is recommended for the best experience.
