IRL Events

This Year V DAO held IRL events in over 10 countries across 4 continents.

Our V Community Meetup initiative kicked off in June, empowering DAO members to host meetups in their local area, and building the foundations for permanent V Hubs.

ETHDenver2024 (where it all started)

We kicked off at ETHDenver, hosting Joseph Lubin for a panel talk and lakeside gathering.

Eth CC (Brussels, Belgium)

At Eth CC, V DAO teamed up with the Build Cities crew to bring together thought leaders from around the world to join us at the Building Network States: Atoms Edition.

More than 140 attendees showed up to hear 14+ speakers and participate in several workshops in this full-day event.

SF Meetup

One of our first V Community meetups of 2024 was held in the Bay Area in San Francisco, CA.

Contributors and Community members gathered to enjoy some food & drinks while discussing regeneration and the desire to purchase property to develop a regenerative living hub.

Devcon 2024

In November, V DAO headed to Bangkok, Thailand for DevCon 2024 to hold our biggest and longest IRL event of the year.

The Regenerative Network States Builders Villa was a week-long nature immersive event that ran alongside DevCon. We held bike rides, wellness activities, workshops, and more.

The week was capped off with a pool party in collaboration with SaunaDAO, Animal Social Club, and Super Meme.

Bangalore

In December, we held our last IRL event of the year in a beautiful brewery in Bangalore just after Eth India had come to an end.

The event was our second Regenerative Network States Social of the year. The first one happening in Singapore a few months earlier, during Token2049.
