We’ll be featuring sessions on topics like Governance, Identity, DeSci, AgTech, Public Goods, P2P, Design, Art, and more.

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!
