By offering a platform for Cardano projects to showcase their work, we aim to increase interest and participation in the Cardano ecosystem. This can lead to greater adoption, collaboration, education, and innovation within the community. To measure the impact of EXCESS 2024, we will track the number of attendees and the number of Cardano focused projects represented. Additionally, we will gather feedback through surveys and interviews with attendees, exhibitors, and speakers to gain insights into their experiences. The event highlights will be shared on our social media platforms for people to view and share.
