New Event: Eden Zanzibar on July 20-23

Regenerative Cities, (Crypto-Technology) & African Futures

This event is coming together through my new friendship with the team behind Threefold, a mega-ambitious project to build a new internet - and with the legal autonomy of a free zone status in an eye-popping region in Zanzibar.

​The 4-day event will feature speakers and unconference-style workshops on the following topics (examples):

• ​The future of city development on the African continent, incl. special economic zones and charter cities

• ​Technological innovation & development (e.g. clean energy, internet & communication infrastructure, crypto/finance)

The agenda is tentative so if you want to contribute to the program by organizing talks or workshops, reach out to me and join this TG group.

​Confirmed speakers include:

• ​​Patri Friedman (Seasteading Institute)

• ​​Mwiya Musokotwane (Nkwashi)

• ​​Kristof de Spiegeleer (Threefold Foundation)

• ​​Eche Emole (Afropolitan)

• ​​Daniel Yu (Wasoko / Fumbatown)

• ​Alpha Barry (Temple Cities)

• ​​Mark Lutter (Charter Cities Institute)

• ​Kurtis Lockhardt (Charter Cities Institute)

There’ll definitely be a lot of friends I met at Zuzalu, i.e. from the Ethereum/web3 ecosystem - I’ll post separately about the web3 component of this event.

I hope to see some of you there!
