Join pioneers of decentralized media as we chart out a new category within Web3 and media innovation – tackling the future of news and content distribution while combating today’s dystopia of disinformation and centralized editorial control. Experts from the Decentralized Storage Alliance, Association of Crypto Journalists and Researchers (ACJR), CTRL+X, Coinage Media, Hardfork Media and Distro Media will break down the significance of decentralized data storage and the potential applications for blockchain tools. This all comes against a backdrop of propaganda wars and severe financial constraints that have shrunken the ranks of professional journalists and eroded public trust.
The event is SOLD OUT so availability will be first come first serve, when the venue hits capacity, it will be 1 in 1 out.
Arrive on time to secure your spot!
