NonCon 2020

Organizers

Not a Conference. Not a Conjob.

It's not what you do or where you go, it's the friends you make along the way. Open source Blockchain projects celebrate permissionless innovation and self sovereignty. We subscribe to these values and support them flowing out into other social spaces. Read More...

From meatspace to cyberspace

NonCon is an inclusive Safe Space. Please honour the Parallele Polis Code of Conduct when participating in our virtual event venues in the same manner you would in meatspace. Moderators will kick / ban attendees who violate community standards of behaviour.

Since we are livestreaming the speakers to our Youtube Channel utilizing Open Broadcast Software, we request that those who join do so with their cameras turned on, and microphones muted, for that true meatspace conference feeling. If you want to interact with our speakers live during their Q & A, or merely want to give them an audience to look at and consent to your face / voice to be recorded and broadcast on Youtube, join the appropriate track at noncon.interspace.chat at the appropriate time.

Please remember to abide by Video Conferencing Best Practices to insure the best experience for the speaker, yourself, and your peers who are participating. Signal to the speakers that you will attend by subscribing to individual speaker events in the Google Calendar embedded below.

Tickets: You don't need one. But you can donate :-)

NonCon is free, and non-coercive. Opt-in.

If you feel like donating,we'll accept any token at the noncon.eth address, or you can contribute to our interspace.chat gitcoin grant and get those sweet sweet multiples during the 5th Matching Round.Those who don't have, or don't want a gitcoin account can donate directly to the support.interspacechat.eth address

Although we have no production costs associated with a conference produced in meatspace, the hours of organization, pre-production, public communication are just as high as with a normal event.

When the livestreams have ended, all individual talks will be available in edited form in playlists on our Youtube channel, so any donation you make will also be to the benefit of our videocuttin volunteers, as well as towards the streamers that work 11 hour shifts of sitting there, streaming to youtube.

Apology: Google. Yeah, we know. It is not cypherpunk. But it's efficient, and a standard that "works" for everyone. This is the only privacy compromise this website (and the conference) makes. Otherwise, we do not gather user data. Check our Privacy Notice.
