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.

Savings circles predate formal banking by centuries and still move billions of dollars annually across communities that banks have never appropriately served. In this workshop, we'll run a live circle together and talk about what community-owned financial tools can actually look like.
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.
Bread Cooperative builds financial tools that use blockchain primitives to serve community solidarity rather than individual wealth extraction. This talk covers the Solidarity Fund, which has disbursed over $55,000 in grants funded entirely by deposit yield with no donations, Stacks, a crypto implementation of rotating savings circles and the framework for how we build these tools.
