The decentralized web, artificial intelligence, extended reality and other advances at the outer edge of what’s possible have exposed an opportunity to co-create an inspiring and equitable future.”
The Outer Edge Land Grant experience gives community-powered projects the opportunity to host impactful experiences and intimate talks within the convention, without the expense of a traditional conference sponsorship. Community partners will be granted a space for their activations, placement as a co-creator on the Outer Edge website and materials and promotional support for external events. The organizers, a Web3 startup themselves, are committed to providing a welcoming opportunity for all communities, startups, and creators to collide, share their creations, and build a larger and stronger community.
To support and celebrate the builders and entrepreneurs who drive the space forward, this event will also feature a two-day hackathon and a startup-investor pitch experience.
To learn more about the experience, the organizers will be hosting a live Twitter Spaces on Thursday, January 26 at 4:30pm PST. Details can be found on Twitter here.
