#DWebSummit >> Decentralized Web Summit “Locking the Web Open” - June 8‐9, 2016 | Internet Archive | San Francisco, CA

We invite you to join us at the first Decentralized Web Summit!

We are bringing together a diverse group of Web architects, activists, engineers, archivists, scholars, journalists, and other stakeholders to explore the technology required to build a Decentralized Web and its impact.

The current Web is not private or censorship-free. It lacks a memory, a way to preserve our culture’s digital record through time. The Decentralized Web aims to make the Web open, secure and free of censorship by distributing data, processing, and hosting across millions of computers around the world, with no centralized control.

Sharing vision & Tech know-how:

The Summit & meetup is a two-day event for high level discussions among leaders from around the globe working on decentralized technologies. What decentralized applications are being built today, and what is just around the corner? Together, can we prototype the Decentralized Web and start to lock the Web open for good?
