Can we radically redesign the web to be P2P, private & resilient? Dive into the current tech & big challenges w/ roundtables, demos, more!
After more than ten years of pioneering work towards a genuinely decentralized & distributed system, it is time to revisit how far the decentralized web has come.
What is the current science in the peer-2-peer space? What are the immediate technical challenges ahead of us?
In the last decade, we have identified immutable data, cryptographic identities, convergent data structures, & an abundance of in-networking memory as foundational for a decentralized web. All these concepts, which were not available when the Internet was born, today allow us to dare a radical redesign of a distributed system that is offline-first, permissionless, trustworthy & resilient.
DWeb Weekend 2025 is for researchers, builders, & the public to assess our current technological state, learn together, & move forward at speed. On Saturday, we welcome the public to join roundtables to discuss & share strategies on how to tackle the DWeb's immediate technical challenges. On Sunday, we invite you to share a talk, join a technical workshop, or attend a hands-on demonstration by some of the top P2P protocol builders in decentralized tech.
INTERESTED IN PRESENTING A TALK, DEMO, or WORKSHOP? Fill out this form
Location: Internet Archive, 300 Funston Avenue, San Francisco
Date & Time: Saturday & Sunday, Aug 16-17, 10 AM - 5 PM
What to Expect:
Some of the top builders of P2P, decentralized tech will be on hand to lead roundtable discussions, document your ideas, share talks, workshops, & hands-on demos.
You'll find:
Talks on decentralized architectures, edge computing, & peer-to-peer networks
Demos of Decentralized P2P tech, & self-hosted alternatives
Discussions of privacy-first principles, self-sovereignty, & reducing dependency on solutions that hold all the control
Networking with like-minded tech professionals, open-source contributors & potential partners
DWeb Weekend 2025 is led by Research Director, Professor Christian Tschudin & Associate Research Director, Andreas Dzialocha. The event is produced by DWeb organizer Wendy Hanamura, & sponsored by the Internet Archive.

YOUR HOSTS
DWeb Seminar is an event of the Bay Area node of the DWeb, a global community connecting the people, projects & protocols essential to building a decentralized web. A web that is more private, reliable, secure & open. We host monthly meetupsat the Internet Archive Headquarters, monthly Tools & Weaving Potlucks at homes in SF, & a monthly discussion group in Oakland.
