Special Salon Guest: Paul Hemming
In this fireside conversation, we’ll explore how emerging technologies like AI, blockchain, and decentralized tools are converging with art, music, culture and community to power a NeoRenaissance for humanity.
Paul Hemming—longtime creative entrepreneur and founder of cultural venues in SF, Denver, LA, and now Oakland with many more to come—is developing the Future Factory, a next-generation IRL and virtual cultural center and innovation space that blends entertainment, immersive creative technologies with community and co-working.
We’ll dive into Paul’s vision, his bold experiments at the intersection of tech and culture, and what this means for the future of human connection, creativity, and work.
This will be another cutting-edge, signature Light Dao talk you won't want to miss.
