There's also an event called C3, or the Community Creations Con. This is a two-day digital event set for February 2024 that will benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation while serving as a "showcase and learning experience for modders, people who want to mod, and fans of mods" - and it's clear that the organizers are keen to help facilitate the first wave of Starfield modders. In fact, this iteration of C3 was originally scheduled for September 2 until it became clear that date would overlap with Starfield Early Access.
