Deadline EXTENDED for DWeb Camp Proposals
DWeb Camp Proposal deadline extended to June 28
You asked, we answered! We are extending the deadline for submitting DWeb Camp proposals by 2 weeks until June 28. However, early submissions by the June 14 deadline will be prioritized for scheduling. If you’re still considering submitting a proposal, we ask that you send it through ASAP, especially if you have specific space, equipment, or logistical requirements. We've already received a high volume of submissions, so get your proposals in sooner so we have enough time to make the necessary arrangements for you.
You are welcome to propose activities such as inspiring lightning talks, interactive workshops, or engaging panel discussions on a variety of topics. We’ll be featuring sessions on topics like Governance, Identity, DeSci, AgTech, Public Goods, P2P, Design, Art, and more. You could submit a project you are involved in, a personal interest, or an insight you've had recently. Please note that we're looking for knowledge and ideas, not product pitches.

Don’t forget to secure your tickets to DWeb Camp 🎟️
There’s still time to grab your tickets for DWeb Camp. At DWeb Camp 2024, we’ll explore the theme of migration and how we can move together toward the Web we want and deserve. We’ll tackle real-world challenges that technology may address: can we bring tools to migrate people and data onto the Decentralized Web? We’ll share fundraising knowledge to help everyone find sustainable resources for their journeys. Musicians will perform new music about migration & climate change, while campers share their migration stories using the open source platform, Terrastories. Come build bridges and community while you hack, hike, converse, and create a better society together amidst the giant redwoods. See you there!
