Distributed Camp is a gathering for people building the open, decentralized web — developers, designers, protocol authors, and researchers who believe infrastructure should be owned by the people who use it.

We’re not a conference. We’re a camp: structured around conversations, not slides. Everyone who shows up is a participant, not an audience.

We care about federated and peer-to-peer protocols, self-sovereign identity, local-first software, and open standards that outlive any single company. The practical question — how do you actually ship decentralized apps that people want to use — and the philosophical one — what does it mean for infrastructure to be a commons — are equally interesting to us.
