Nominating @esteez.eth for #farcasterrpgfspring2025 for her incredible work leading Farcon 2025 - one of the most ambitious community-led efforts we’ve seen in the Farcaster ecosystem.

Emma led the entire production from end to end: venue scouting nearly a year out, securing sponsorships, managing budgets, designing programming, and coordinating a team of volunteers across time zones. The result? Three official Farcon events, 50+ community-led side events, and a multi-day experience that brought Farcasters from around the world together IRL.

But what made it special wasn’t just the scale - it was the curation. Emma set a high-trust tone and created moments that felt generous, meaningful, and deeply community-first. From spicy hot wings to mainstage talks, product demos, and best-in-class NYC catering, every detail reflected thought and care.

Farcon 2025 wasn’t just a conference - it was a proof of concept for how decentralized gatherings can be both expansive and grounded. And Emma made it happen.

couldn’t vouch for Emma enough, she would be a *very* deserving recipient of this retro PGF round!! if it wasn’t for her hard work, sharp eye/sense of taste and overall enthusiasm FarCon NYC wouldn’t have happened and I’m so grateful for everything she’s done for our community
