EVENT DETAILS |
DWeb Camp is a four-day retreat for dreamers & builders. For those who want to co-create a Decentralized Web where our values are baked into the code. DWeb Camp is a place where diverse people can freely exchange ideas about the technologies, laws, markets & agreements we need to move forward.
Set on a farm nestled just above the Pacific Ocean, DWeb Camp is also a chance to make deep connections: to your values, to global communities, & to the planet around you. So come hack, hike, camp, cook & create a better society together beneath the stars!

Location: We've reserved a private farm one hour south of San Francisco, California & one hour west of San Jose. It's surrounded by 700 acres of pristine, untouched coastal land: beach, forest, stream. Hike 15 minutes & you'll be at the Pacific Ocean. Once you register, we'll send you the exact location.
What's included:Camping for 4 days in one of the most beautiful spots on Earth. All your meals will be covered in the cost of your ticket: healthy, locally-sourced food, some grown on the Farm itself. We won't be serving alcohol, but it's BYOB.You should plan to bring all the extras: wine, cocktails, snacks, drinks, s'mores. Bring enough to share!
DWeb Camp is a community-built event, so it will be what you make it. We supply the land, some shelter, nourishing food, power & the rest is up to you.We hope you'll bring your own project, share your knowledge, launch a conversation, host a tea lounge, launch a hacking project or lead a creative class. The sky's the limit. Enlist your friends to come & help. Sign up to lead a project on the website.
We're creating five campgrounds, one especially for families with children. And there will be three zones: a Healing Zone where Farm staff will lead you in yoga, meditation, body work, & lessons in regenerative gardening. Pick berries in the garden, help harvest honey, or go for a hike through fields of wildflowers to the redwood forest.
The Hacking Zone has power & space to share your latest project, lead a workshop, or do a show-and-tell. We're building a mesh network throughout the area so you can work off-line & test out the latest decentralized tech.
The Creativity Zone has a huge meadow & a Forum with 22 bays-perfect for everything from drones to sculpture.
And there's plenty of places to roast a marshmallow, chill in the tea lounge or just hang out with new friends.
How will we camp?
You can bring your own camping gear, or rent a a canvas bell tent from the Farm & it will be set up when you arrive. A 5-meter canvas tent, cots & bedding for 1-4 people are available when you check out. Or bring your own RV & buy an RV pass. Really hate to camp? Here's a secret: there's a lodge with cabins & suites just 5 minutes away.
What if I volunteer?
