Partnership

it turns out, that's a huge struggle for them too. So I guess part of what I am really interested in trying to pull apart, as this is a learning experience, is this tension between being an organization that can think globally and curate something that is really well integrated because we can think on that global scale. But at the same time, really trying to dig deep into the community and get people excited and motivated to come out and think with us about how to participate in that. So that it really does strike both of those

talking about this ambassadorship. I think, that's interesting with the cosplay, because that's something that we talked about a lot on the call, was this idea, of how intrusive can we be? How are we invited in? Is this something that we're going to be okay? And we don't want to be the Steve Buscemi meme, "How do you do, fellow kids?" And I think what we talked about was the MC for the event, Bernie, I think, his introduction really anecdotally, settled any fears in us. Because it seemed we didn't get any pushback from any of the cos players. Like, "Why are they giving out science awards?" It felt natural.
