Following the hour of presentations, we will meet in Gather.town for an informal hang out where you can meet friends old and new and connect over your plans for Camp!
Last Chance to Get Tickets
Now it's really your last chance to get tickets! We're delaying sending the final headcount to the caterer until next week, so if you’re still planning to register for Camp, get your tickets NOW. After that, we cannot accept new Campers over the final headcount. And we are very close to selling out of all tents and cabins so it's time to lock in your accommodation too!
#DWebCamp2024 schedule is coming soon 🗓️
Thank you to everyone who sent in a proposal. We’re working through almost 200 proposals and aiming to get back to everyone about their proposals by this Friday, July 26.
Meanwhile, we’re building the DWeb Camp 2024 Schedule now. It should be up soon at https://dwebcamp2024.sched.com/. We will have over 200 workshops, talks, panels, games, performances and classes for you to get into and help kickstart planning your time at Camp.
You can create your own schedule using Sched and this year, attendees will be able to chat with each other on the app. So while we’re working on finalizing the schedule, you can log in and update your profile. Don’t forget to set your profile to public if you'd like to be visible to other attendees. If you’re a speaker, the app allows you to email those attending your session, update the description, or post your slides.
PRO TIP: To prepare, we strongly encourage you to download the Sched App on your phone and refresh it right before arriving at Camp. In some areas of the camp, WiFi is limited, and there is no cell service across the venue.
