​About the Event

​​The first Parallel Society Congress is an invitation to discuss some of the most pressing questions we face as a civilisation. What will succeed the waning 400-year-old nation-state technology? How can we unlock the value latent in inefficient governance and its institutions? Is this how crypto can live up to its initial promise? 

​Inspired by Eastern European dissidents living under repressive regimes, instead of fighting a rigged system head-on, we are creating state-of-the-art technology, alternative media, autonomous physical communities, and parallel educational institutions that operate independently of centralised authorities – protecting human societies through technology and innovation.

​Programming

​The programming aims to provide a multi-purpose platform and meeting ground for a range of projects that position the ideas behind new forms of governance. 

​To support this nascent coalition our partners will host activations, talks, and workshops in the venue. Alongside, informal spaces will encourage and support genuine connections and conversations around:

• ​The current shortcomings of the nation state and how to unlock the trillion dollar opportunity in governance.

• ​Best practices for starting and growing pop-up communities and network nations.

• ​The latest around regulatory arbitrage, special economic zones and charter cities around the world.

• ​The opportunities and challenges of decentralized legal systems.

• ​The technological basis needed to support parallel societies and institutions globally.

​The event will also support local communities at every touch point – from food and beverages to venue selection and more.
