Open Croissant

​Starts at 10am! Please arrive on time.

​Not sure what the big deal is with onchain gaming? Why the distinction between games and worlds matters? What’s being built and who’s building it? Come find out and join the conversation!

​Between bouts of open playtesting and casual conversation we're delighted to be joined by following speakers:

​Lucy Harley-McKeown, founding editor at Project Glitch, will share insights from their experiments in the new media landscape and “journalism on hard mode”.

​Arnaud Schenk, a cofounder of Aztec and creator of the Polaris Fellowship, will share lessons from his experience building trust infrastructure.

​Jay Springett, a writer, podcaster & strategist will help structure the autonomous worlds meme around a core primitive: myth-making mechanisms.

​They'll be joined by David, Baz and 5p0rt5BEArD, who will be diving into the history and state of the games industry, sharing lessons for how to build on Downstream and pointing to opportunities for onchain mischief and permissionless paranoia.

​We'll be wrapping up at 2pm, and the delights of Brick Lane are nearby, so a bunch of us will be heading in that direction for a Friday afternoon curry.
