# What Makes CCG Different?

## It's Not a Conference—It's a Convivium

Unlike traditional crypto events with keynote speakers and expo floors, CCG is:

- Fully participant-driven — No pre-set agenda; schedule co-created daily
- Deeply relational — Week-long format enables genuine connection
- Off-grid & intimate — Mountain retreat setting, away from distractions
- Non-extractive — Built on commons principles, not corporate incentives

## Attendees Contribute, Not Just Consume

Everyone who attends CCG joins a Commons Crew:

- Kitchen crew
- Cleaning crew
- Documentation crew
- Fire/Water crew
- Atmosphere care crew

This creates a fundamentally different relationship between participants and the event—one of mutual care and shared responsibility.

## Testimonials

"The ideas I encountered at CCG completely changed how I think about protocol design. It's like nothing else in the crypto space." — ReFi builder, 2023
"I came for the unconference, I stayed for the community. Four years later, my closest collaborators are people I met at CCG." — Cooperative founder, 2022
