Re:Govern is a retreat and unconference for leading thinkers and tinkerers in decentralised governance. Residents are invited to step out of the transactional mode of a traditional short event and meet with other, like-minded experts.
Our aim is to cultivate a space for deep creativity, discussion and work; to build collective meaning through mindful connections and represent these moments onchain.
The Overview
define the core challenges & opportunities of decentralised governance.
We invite you to join 30 leading governance experts to focus on the future of decentralised governance in a beautiful castle following Berlin Blockchain Week.
