Crypto Commons Gathering
The fifth edition of CCG brings together international activists, researchers, hackers, builders, artists, game designers and others to collectively explore, imagine and enact futures at the intersection of commoning, degrowth and web3 through an unconference format.
What is an Unconference?
An unconference is a participant-driven event format that emphasizes open, flexible, and spontaneous discussions rather than traditional pre-planned presentations. Unlike conventional conferences, unconferences have no predefined agenda or speakers. Instead, attendees collaboratively propose topics, sessions, and activities on the spot, usually at the beginning of the event.
Participants vote or self-organize around topics they find most interesting, forming small groups or breakout sessions where discussions, workshops, or hands-on activities take place. The structure encourages active participation, collective knowledge sharing, and informal networking.
Unconferences are particularly valuable for fostering creativity, innovation, and community engagement, as everyone is considered equally qualified to contribute, share insights, and guide conversations. Common formats include open space technology, barcamps, and lightning talks, all of which rely heavily on attendee interaction and collective decision-making.
