Announcing the first-ever IRL Decentraland Community Summit

On May 22-24, 2024, the DCL community will take a momentous leap from online interaction to in-person connection when they meet for the Decentraland Community Summit in Argentina, the birthplace of Decentraland!

An invite-only event, attendance depends on your application. Community members that actively contribute to the Decentraland ecosystem (through creative work or by building relationships & hosting events) as well as technical builders and partners that are interested in being a part of Decentraland’s future are warmly welcomed to apply.

The main goals of the event are to enhance the human connection between community members, celebrate community achievements, gather feedback and insight, and look towards the future of Decentraland.

With three action-packed days of interactive workshops, immersive discussions, and celebratory events, attendees will not just witness the evolution of Decentraland but actively participate in it.

Selected applicants just need to get themselves to Argentina and all of the lodging, dining, and social activities will be covered! If covering your flights poses a challenge for you, don’t give up hope just yet! A DAO grant has been proposed to sponsor a few travel scholarships for attendees in need, so you may be able to apply for the scholarship and attend.

Applications to attend the Decentraland Community Summit are open from now until December 8, 2023, but the earlier you apply, the better! Click through to the official announcement to learn the full details and apply.
