Uniting Blockchain for a Historic Event IO Constitutional Convention

Overview

Input Output is a world-leading blockchain research and engineering company, best known as the creator of the Cardano blockchain. They operate in 50+ countries with a mission to build open, decentralized systems that empower global participation.

For this milestone moment in Cardano’s history, the decentralization of governance, IOG brought its worldwide community together in Buenos Aires to debate, decide, and celebrate the future of the network. This wasn’t just an event, it was the physical embodiment of IOG’s vision: global voices, equal say, and technology serving a truly decentralized world.

Why

It Worked

The vote passed with over 75% approval, cementing a historic milestone in the decentralization of governance. 17K+ livestream views brought the moment to the global community, while on the ground, immersive cultural touches, from the Welcome Dinner and authentic Asado to the tango-filled gala, created lasting memories and strengthened bonds.

It worked because it embodied IOG’s mission: global voices, equal participation, and a shared sense of purpose. Seamless two-way connectivity ensured remote attendees were as involved as those in Buenos Aires, while high-calibre production and symbolic moments, like the signing ceremony and drum-filled finale, turned the event into a unifying celebration of progress. The impact was felt far beyond the venue, earning Best International Event at the ICEAWARDS for its creativity, inclusivity, and lasting legacy.
