Agenda:

For most of history, identity was tied to geography—but the world is changing. We are entering an era where citizenship is digital, governance is decentralized and communities are formed by choice, not birth.

Join us as we explore the rise of borderless digital nations, governance as a service, and the forces reshaping society—from Bitcoin to DAOs to digital nomad visas. In this age of optionality, people can belong to multiple ‘nations’ at once, with governments competing for citizens like companies compete for customers.

What does this mean for the future of identity, governance and global mobility? Let’s find out together.
