Conference and Unconference

🗓️ 3rd and 4th September 2024

We are going back in time to leap in the future

The web3 travel industry is still small.
This gives us the opportunity to spend some quality time together and focus on networking.
For this reason we selected a location conductive to quality human interactions: quiet, inspiring and with many little corners, inside and outside in the nature, where to talk.
The connections made here, will impact the industry for years to come.
A unique chance to get to know the builders, the thought leaders and the investors.

Why Web3 in Travel

As the internet evolves into Web3 and acquires new functionalities, such as native value transmission (send money and valuables without intermediaries), renewed sovereignty of the user (one account you own for all websites, rather than one account you don’t own per website) and protocolization of services (where the internet tells OTAs “I’ll take care of it and it will cost nothing)”, the travel industry will need to adapt.
It’s not a choice, as these changes will happen under every company’s feet and the very terrain they live on (the internet) will change.

Why You Should Come

If you are in the travel industry, this is where you learn about the hidden potential before your competitors, come up with ideas, meet the founders and all the main web3 in travel industry players.
All in one place, in a couple of days.
Consider this a major upgrade of your understanding of the future of the travel industry.
