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!

As Match Group invests $100 million in the gay cruising app Sniffies and Grindr squeezes $440 million from a queer community in need of connection, Meetmarket proposes a different model: an encrypted and ad-free hookup and social platform for queer people that’s community-centered, structurally unable to sell out and with revenue reinvested into IRL queer events. This talk and discusison what it takes to build solidarity-based digital infrastructure, and how generative tools can bring communities into the design process from day one.

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.
