Introducing the #dgov18 conference

The first conference on distributed governance.

The need for distributed governance

A ghost creeps up on the world of distributed communities. Our shared social and business infrastructures are championing the “be trustless and uncensorable” ideology, but still have a very dangerous weak point: the lack of coordination between the opportunities brought by technological development, current problems in transnational policy making and a coherent conceptualization of governance suitable for a novel legal architecture.

Governance of Ethereum was one of the hottest topics at EthCC 2018

With these issues some bright individuals and organisations in our community have been wrapping their heads around for some time now. But as we start to impact the world, more and more of us (and others!) have become aware of just how important these issues are. It is 2018 when distributed governance as a topic reached the mainstream in our communities.

The quest for distributed governance

It is now ever more widely perceived that distributed governance will be an impetus for sustainable well-being of us all.

We envision sustainable well-being empowered by distributed consensus technology.

It seems to us it is time to gather in one place. Us who want to learn more about distributed governance, us who run and build DAOs, us who research and publish about it and us who work on solutions and tools for making it a reality.

This is why we are pleased to introduce DGOV 2018, the first conference on distributed governance, taking place in Athens in the Q4 2018.

Our Mission is to provide a forum for collaboration among leaders of any kind, which explore and desire the implementation of new forms of self-organized governance by the use of distributed consensus technology.
