Intersect’s annual member meeting will now be a series of member summits

Intersect is a member-based organization for the Cardano ecosystem, putting members at the heart of Cardano’s future development. Intersect is incorporated as a mutual-benefit not-for-profit organization in Wyoming.  Our state obligations require that we hold an annual meeting for members.

To be as inclusive and representative as possible, we would like to offer our members many options to participate in person or virtually, so we will host not just one annual meeting but multiple in many places worldwide. These meetings will determine the organization's future and how the members can shape it.

Intersect’s community hubs will be pivotal in hosting its first annual member summits, which will be held in October. In-person meet-ups will start in Tokyo and then in Sri Lanka, Chicago, Mexico City, Ghana, and Lisbon.

The member summits will allow community hubs to unite local members to discuss Cardano’s product roadmap and budget and how Intersect can continue supporting Cardano’s on-chain governance into 2025. The annual member summits will also be a chance to look back at the positives and negatives of Intersect’s first year and how we can build a stronger organization together.

In addition, we’ll highlight members who have submitted nominations for the upcoming committee elections and governing board seats. Voting for these positions will be held in parallel with the annual meetings.
