Why

Every movement begins with a group of people aligned around a shared vision of something better—to cohere around relationships and values before tech platforms and economic models. The network before the state.

This event is calling together leaders that represent a diverse array of perspectives for three days of facilitated workshops, unconference-style talks, and the magic that comes from late-night fireside conversations.

The Network State Camp will be taking place at a classic American summer camp to shake up the conference-as-usual vibes and remind us that work and play enhance each other.
