Two upcoming events: Network Nations and Futurecraft
Shoreditch &Soul in August, and The Garden in September
Hi friends,
I’m writing during a break at the Network Nations residency at Emerge Lakefront to let you know about two upcoming events: one on Technofeudalism, Network Nations and the Future of Dandelion in London, UK on 5 Aug, and a Futurecraft Residency near Porto, Portugal, 2-8 Sep.
Join me at Shoreditch &Soul in London on Tue 5th Aug, 6:30pm – 8:30pm to discuss:
Technofeudalism: How big tech companies have created digital empires where they make the rules, control what we see, and profit from our data - all with little oversight
Network Nations: A new approach where communities with shared values govern themselves online, creating alternatives to corporate-controlled platforms
The Future of Dandelion: How the platform could transform from being run by a worker co-op to being truly owned and governed by its community
