This year at DWeb I'm helping lead the Demo Night Market. If you are thinking about showing something off, please submit an application (the demo question is late on page 2 of the proposals page) or simply connect with me and we can discuss:

In past years I've helped steward the lightning talks, and bear at least partial responsibility for a nearly disastrous first unconference style day a few years ago.
I'm a former big wave surfer, a current hack musician, and an experienced entrepreneur with strengths in high level architecture, strategy, communications and partnership / business development.
More recently, I've been deepening my tech skills by building software myself now that getting unstuck has gotten a little easier thanks to some of the new AI tools.
I have lived and traveled all over the world both for work and for surf, but now call Puerto Rico home where I live in a small condo in a small town with my wife Tatiana and our two cats, Tiger and Shy.
On the professional front: I'm a co-founder of Holochain, a peer-to-peer application framework that has taken far longer to get to production ready than any of us anticipated, as well as Unyt accounting, a peer-to-peer payments and accounting system built on top of holochain. In addition, I'm an advisor to a couple of foundational AI lab startups and have volunteered and served on the board of directors of Toward Warm Data with Nora Bateson. I am open to aligned board or advisory roles and would love to hear what you are currently feeling most excited about. Let's jam!
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!
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.
Take a look at some of the presenters from 2024's Demo Night: https://2024.dwebcamp.org/projects/
The DWeb community has been out in the world, trying things. Some are working. Others… not so much.
This choose-your-own-adventure session will start with brief intros to two workshops focused on patterns that work:
- 4 Key Elements for Effective Community Governance Organizations
- Entanglement by Design
Followed by intros to two workshops focused on how things go wrong:
- Anti-patterns of Exit to Community in Web3
- Wins, Wreckage, and Wisdom: How Projects Survive (and Why They Don’t)
We will then all gather back together for a FishBowl session (a lively and participatory rotating panel discussion) to share noticings, ahas and inspirations.
Help architect the seed of a vibrant general social movement to co-create a decent world.
