DAOfests

For DAOstack

International series of events on decentralized autonomous organisations that started in Berlin on the 20th of August 2018. As the main coordinator, I was contact point, curator, brand designer, community manager etc. acting from within the DAOstack communications team.

At DAOFest 1 in Berlin

DAOfests gave me a taste of the power of community facilitation, generous onboarding documentation and (somewhat) standardised paths to engagement. Having organised 30+ events in less than 4 months the experiment came to a halt with the onset of the pandemic.


There were large DAOfests organised by myself with backing from DAOstack (Budget and communications support) and community organised meetups (which were 90% of instances.)  DAOfests proliferated fast by supporting the rise of community stewards leveraging an semi-standard event format (Local leaders present - often the organiser + DAOcanvas workshop exercises). Many of these stewards became influential in the DAO space and are now involved in relevant projects advancing the decentralized front.
