This is not your typical crypto bro talk. It’s an invitation to explore current ideas, principles, and business models for building a more inclusive, equitable, sustainable—in one word, more beautiful—paradigm for the internet.

Full line-up and registration will be announced soon.

Residents Shana Dressler and Neil Redding are inviting you to an end-of-year gathering on the rooftop of Quay Tower.

Please BYOB as well as something delicious to share, this is an opportunity to show off your favorite homemade holiday dish! Dishware and utensils, everything else will be provided—and we’ll rely on you all to help make it beautiful.

Take part in the virtual and in-person experience of our main gathering which will take place from Friday, June 2 to Monday, June 5, 2023 in Sintra, online, and underground.

From tokenization to post-platform economies, from the sneakerverse to self-sovereign identities, from DAOs to NFTs that decolonize knowledge... the 20 weeks of Beautiful Business in Web3 are coming to an end.

What are our key lessons learned? And what about the future of Web3 and Beautiful Business?

Come join us one last time to discuss and celebrate with some of our amazing contributors of this program!

From a leader of Black Lives Matter, a trailblazer in the feminist resistance to trumpism, Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, an ex-cult member turned QAnon deprogrammer, and more, take an inside(r) view into the movements and battles of those seeking to champion persuasion in an age of polarization, in conversation with Anand Giridharadas, author of the international bestseller Winners Take All who’s returning to the House with his latest book, The Persuaders.

Dreaming of giving a TED Talk? Hosting your own podcast? Or finally writing that book? What is your vision, your purpose? What is your story, and how can you tell it in a way that is personal and universal at once?

To make the concept of beautiful business more accessible to more people worldwide, it needs persuasive messengers. To influence more of the people in power, it needs inspirational thought leaders.

Like you.
