tl:dr: BuilderDAO/Nouns Builder participation at EDCON 2024 in Tokyo July 24 - 30 via Chris Carella (Purple), Derek G. Taylor (The Park) and sponsorship.

What is EDCON?

EDCON is a hub for innovation and collaboration, creating a meaningful opportunity to grow ideas and align community values. By participating, BuilderDAO/Nouns Builder will gain visibility, showcase two of our Nounish DAOs, and put Nouns Builder in front of Vitalik and other Ethereum leaders, showcasing our approach to DAO governance.

"This event will allow us to reach and onboard new audiences, drive the industry forward by collaborating with onchain builders and thought leaders, and highlight our impact and contributions."

"We believe this week will provide a historic convergence of Ethereum leaders and community members for Nouns to engage and onboard, while focusing on relatability, relevance and interactivity."

This proposal furthers that mission by putting BuilderDAO/Nouns Builder in front of some the most prominent members of the Ethereum community. For more information on EDCON and Nouns Cares, see https://edcon.io/ and the Nouns prop.
