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.

The eChai Effect - In Their Words

"I attended my first eChai event 3 yrs back, and no one knew me in the market. Over the next three years, eChai didn’t only help me with knowledge or networking, but it gave me an identity from being unknown to now being recognized by a group of inspirational entrepreneurs connected with eChai, who have been gracious enough to acknowledge me and Digipple."
