# Description

* * *

A SourceCred event where very involved contributors have been invited to come together and focus on their SC projects, get to know each other, and orient on collective goals/values for the coming year. This event also aligns with Sustain Web3 (where Dandelion will be speaking) and ETH Denver (where we’ll have a SourceCred team).

The event will be held in Denver, in a large Airbnb house between the 11th and 18th of February 2020.

(Those invitees who wish to stay in the community house must fill out their [Registration Form](https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeG14HjAfOotSKT8hpxxJfytVEK0VeQx6iMAtxabU4XOBn8FA/viewform) before the 10th of January to be guaranteed a room in the house. You are not required to stay in the community house.)

Proposed timeline:

- Tuesday, 2/11: Arrival, settle in, evening social

- Wednesday, 2/12:

- Thursday, 2/13: [sustain web3](https://web3.sustainoss.org/) in Boulder ([@decentralion](https://discourse.sourcecred.io/u/decentralion) is speaking at it)

- Friday 2/14 - Sunday 2/16: Attend [ETHDenver](https://www.google.com/search?q=ethdenver&rlz=1C5CHFA_enGB854GB854&oq=ethdenver&aqs=chrome..69i57j0l7.756j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8) (probably throw a party)

- Monday, 2/17 - Tuesday, 2/18: Team planning + decompression

- Wednesday, 2/19: Departures

# Benefits

CredCon will be beneficial to both the SourceCred project, and the SourceCred Team:

- Creates opportunity for involved contributors to meet and get to know each other. Establishing helpful social and emotional context between contributors.

- Facilitates aligning larger goals/actions within the team for the coming year in a lower-friction environment.

- Creates space for contributors to brainstorm and collaborate together at a faster pace than online. Imagine the new ideas that will come out of CredCon!

- Attending ETH Denver as a group creates hype and draws new contributors into the project.

- Opportunity to create a SourceCred video.

- Yo, it’s just going to be a lot of fun.

Friendly note that 2020-02-17 is Presidents Day in the U.S., which may make it easier or more convenient for some folks to take time off work.

I am sad not to be present, however, if there is a possibility of connecting digitally with the crew in Denver today (Sunday 2/16). Let me know the best way to make that happen. I am in UTC +0 (Oxford, UK).

PSA: do we need to track any post-con work to be done? Or is this initiative completed?

I think the initiative is completed, although we’ll want to flesh out the set of contributions based on the graphs we made in-person at credcon.
