So, here we are, there we go.
We completed the very first Cardano Ambassador Workshop as a side and pre-event to the Cardano Summit in November 2025. Played out actually quite awesome and wanted to share a short post here with all relevant links for folks to look into 
First, for sure, thanks to everyone who joined the workshop, was a great event and indeed a successful bootstrap which validated our Event concept for Cardano Ambassador Workshop number #1, the first but surely not the last one.
A short recap on the highlights:
Day 1.
As initially planned, the first day (Nov 7, 2025) was mainly check-in for all attendees at the workshop venue and closing the day with Lunch in the evening. The cosy and roots style of the venue allowed us to quickly have a cool and familiar setup and atmosphere, more like old friends coming together than a crypto conference style, which was an important objective of the workshop.
Day 2.
On the second day of the workshop, the first sessions took place where Cardano Ambassadors hosted sessions on 3 topics, before that yet, breakfast was served to fil everyone’s belly and get everyone ready for the day. After breakfast, sessions started
-
Introductions
Making the round and allowing each attendee to present themself, their work and builder journey on Cardano. Many of us know each other already for years, yet we also had a few newly appointed Ambassadors with us and giving an intro to everyone was a great deal in making folks more familiar with each other. -
DRep incentives
Hosted by Simon, a session where Ambassadors discussed current challenges at Cardano Onchain Governance, especially around the incentivisation of DRep’s (Delegated Representatives), a key role within the Cardano Governance system.
- Cardano Multi Asset Treasury (CMAT)
Hosted by Hinson & Felix, a session which once more addressed onchain governance, precisely the topic around the possibilities of a Cardano Multi Asset treasury which could allow the ecosystem to not only hold Ada in its decentralised onchain Treasury.
All sessions went smooth like butter and due to having awesome folks present, a lot of high quality thought, perspectives, feedback and ideas have been shared.
Dinner and Lunch, coffee & drinks during the day to keep everyone on energy and lots of side line coffee talks, chess rounds in breaks and deep chats during the day took place.
Day 3.
The third day followed the same pattern as day 2. Breakfast → Sessions very much, yet the topics surely changed. Day 2 was dedicated to two sessions by the Cardano Foundation and a final session by the venue owners.
The Cardano Foundation session, were:
-
Cardano Ambassador program - The Future
A session hosted by Sebastian Aravena, the Ambassadors Program manager. Sebastian gave a intro on the past and current situation of the program, followed by his roadmap, vision and ideas towards the next Cardano Ambassador version, a ever evolving program since 2019. -
Onboarding the Next Wave: Building Communities and Driving On-Chain Transactions
Hosted by Josefine Birkigt from the Cardano Foundation Community Team which opened a session on building Communities around the globe with new objectives and ideas how Ambassadors can further help strengthen and support the Cardano community and ecosystem.
After these Sessions, and dinner passed, we opened the floor to the venue owners which shared the history and context of the venue as well as presenting future ideas on how to connect more effectively to the web and blockchain economies and communities. As a result, the workshop venue got heavily interested in Cardano, accepted to receive part of the payments in Ada, opened a wallet and at the same evening, received first tips from Ambassadors to the new venue wallet.
Bonfire and barbecue in the evening outside, wine and beer, some smokes and a holy load of great conversations finished the day, some still in deep discussions until 3am in the morning ^^.
Day 4.
The last day of the workshop was pretty simple and mainly all around check out and getting everyone together to travel to Berlin to the Cardano Summit which will start the next day. Most of the Ambassadors went as group to the villages train station and from there in the same train to Berlin where we then separated and everyone checking in at their hotels.
Everything went smooth and fine, and indeed, a success in bootstrapping the format for Cardano Ambassador Workshops. The concept has been developed and proved, now ready to be wrapped into a blueprint so that other ambassadors can easily repeat and adapt the format to follow up Cardano Ambassador Workshops around the globe.
