Join us this on November 8-9 for our 11th
Funding the Commons conference in Bangkok, Thailand!
Are you a Web3 or DeSci builder, DAO participant, scientist, environmental advocate, funder, public goods and commons-focused community member, or researcher exploring new governance mechanisms and climate solutions?
This conference brings together builders, including regional SEA leaders, to shape the future of public goods funding and digital innovation.
Join us on Nov 8-9 for the 11th Funding the Commons conference. We’ll explore public goods funding, digital innovation, and, for the second time this year, partner with Earth Commons to spotlight environmental stewardship, regenerative agriculture, biodiversity, and decentralized science.
Our program will focus on:
-
Innovation in digital public goods and open web funding, with a focus on impact evaluation and related challenges.
-
Local and regional commons approaches in Southeast Asia.
-
Stewardship and preservation of natural resources, bridging the commons conversation with decentralized science.
-
A showcase of track outcomes from the Chiang Mai Builder Residency and Hackathon.
-
This conference is intentionally designed, with the help of our main partner APAC DAO, to be interactive and hands-on, emphasizing intimate engagement and peer-to-peer learning through interactive workshops, with an intimate main stage area for presentations. There will also be an unconference space for emergent collaboration and peer to peer learning.
Full Agenda coming soon!***
