The event is created and specifically set up to trigger and facilitate collaboration among Ambassadors and to increase collectiveness and effectiveness of our ecosystem engagements. Here we are able to meet our fellow ambassadors with which we are able to coordinate already existing projects as well as initiate future projects which we identify as needed or to support each other in onboarding new projects to the Cardano ecosystem.
