Decentraland Community Summit 2024

Decentraland's first real-life Community Summit will take place 22. - 24. May 2024 in Argentina. This exclusive event has scheduled social activities, engaging workshops, insightful discussions, and presentations by community members, partners, and the Decentraland Foundation, including a festive celebration.
It is an invite-only event, and while applying is the first step, entry isn't guaranteed. The deadline to apply is 8. December 2023.
For those unable to attend in person, recordings of event presentations will be shared online, additionally, a recap of the event will be shared at the Community All Hands post the summit.
== Main Focus ==
=== Enhancing Human Connection ===
* While online platforms are great for connecting people across the globe, face-to-face interactions have their unique charm. They allow for a different level of bonding, understanding, and communication. By meeting in person, the community can foster deeper relationships, promoting collaboration and bridging any emotional or contextual gaps that might exist in purely online interactions.
=== Celebrating Community Achievements ===
* Hosting an in-person event is a tangible way to celebrate and recognize the Decentraland community’s significant contributions and achievements, providing an opportunity to show appreciation for everyone’s commitment to the Decentraland project.
=== Gathering Feedback and Insight ===
* Being present with the community will present the opportunity to collect direct feedback, insight, and opinions which might not always come forth in an online setting. Such interactions can be invaluable for the growth and improvement of Decentraland, a platform owned and created by its community. By doing this in person, the community will have more time to discuss compared to an online back and forth.
=== Looking Towards the Future ===
* While Decentraland as a platform has seen a lot of positive changes in 2023, even more significant changes will be coming in 2024 to improve the Decentraland experience. This Summit will give the community the opportunity to get a behind the scenes look at these changes, hear directly from Yemel Jardi, the Foundation’s Executive Director, share their thoughts, and build & celebrate together.
