Sessions
Presenters tabling at Thursday's Demo Night Market are invited to gather on the Main Lawn to practice your pitches, hone your storytelling and receive feedback from mentors and peers.
We'll also test out equipment and internet connection, and ensure you feel ready to demo tomorrow!
A Decentralized Web Server that combines WordPress + Tor + Wayback Machine.
What if publishing a website required no hosting provider, no domain registrar, no cert, and no one's permission? OnionPress is a free, open-source Mac/Linux app that turns your laptop into a WordPress site running as a Tor onion service, the Wayback Machine makes it always-on. Install it, and you have a blog, a file-sharing gallery, and a globally-reachable address — all from your own machine, no cloud, and no way for anyone to take it down.

Back by popular demand: the DWeb Demo Night Market -- a festive evening kick-off event where you can get a taste of tech from around the world, directly from the decentralized tech stack. We’re highlighting “ready to test” new tools, in a beautifully lit outdoor market, where you can grab a cocktail and wander through dozens of select projects demonstrating their latest breakthroughs.
In part, check out projects to help plan for what sessions to attend in the week ahead.

As a young computer scientist at MIT, Brewster Kahle dreamed of creating the Universal Library, a Library of Alexandria for the digital age. More than 40 years later, the nonprofit that he founded, the Internet Archive, has become a foundational part of the internet, infrastructure for some of humanity's greatest assets. In this wide-ranging conversation, Kahle speaks candidly with Joshua Davila about what it takes to hold fast to a vision for the Internet, in a live recording of the new All Models are Wrong Podcast.
10 years ago, the Internet Archive convened the first Decentralized Web Summit in San Francisco 2016. Now, we've invited five of the original Builders to look back & look forward with us:
What have we learned? How has the early promise of decentralization panned out? Where to go from here?
