The Network State Conference
Come to Singapore on September 22, 2024 to build technodemocracy.
Network State Conference 2024 will be in Singapore on September 22, 2024. This year's speakers include Brian Armstrong, Vitalik Buterin, Anatoly Yakovenko, and Bryan Johnson. You can get tickets here.
In more detail, this event is for people interested in founding, funding, and finding new communities. You’ll hear about startup societies, network states, digital nomadism, competitive government, legalizing innovation, and internet first institutions. After you watch presentations by startup society founders from around the world, you can invest in them, and then find the community that fits you.
The event is in Singapore in September, right after Token2049 and Solana Breakpoint. In-person tickets are only $99 and remote attendance is free. We look forward to seeing you there!
About Last Year’s Conference
The Network State Conference in Amsterdam on Oct 30, 2023 was a huge hit, with thousands of in-person attendees and hundreds of thousands more watching the livestream across platforms. You can watch all videos here, and read the 2023 conference announcement here.
Is anyone going to be in Amsterdam the day before? We could have Substack meet up haha
Thank you for organizing this event and sharing this perspective, Balaji.
You capture some of the core reasons for a general malaise in my demographic (25-year-old male).
Ambitious, solution-oriented young people must participate in systems that, in many instances, actively discourage accomplishment and adherence to truth, and instead encourage a twisted self-loathing and mentality of victimhood. The alternative to this path is to embark on a lonely, failure-prone foray into entrepreneurship, often characterized by incumbent abuses and regulatory overreach.
Sadly, many in my age group have resorted to hedonistic pursuits in an attempt to fill the void left where true purpose should be. This issue is one of the greatest of our time and it is manifesting itself across many vectors in society.
I hope to attend your event if I can do so in a non-financially ruinous way.
