ZuGarden

Immersive residency fusing cutting-edge tech with human connection

Work, Explore, and Connect: Join us in Thailand for a profound co-living experience!

Nov 10th – Nov 30th 2024

ZuGarden is a 3-week immersive Zuzalu-style pop-up village in Thailand by the creators of ZuBerlin. 🌱

We are bridging the gap between focused in-depth research discussions (Ethereum, AI advancement, decentralized governance, public goods funding, etc.) and genuine human connection in a co-created community-atmosphere. You'll explore and expand your comfort zone, as well as relax and get to know fascinating humans on a deep personal level. 💥

The first week of ZuGarden will take place in Bangkok at a venue very close to Devcon. During Devcon we will keep the program light and focus on providing a comfortable space. After that we will move to a secret resort on an island go deeper together. Are you curious? ✨

Expand your comfort zone

Explore yourself and unleash your curiosity! We'll bring in some experienced facilitators to give space for emotional exploration and depth with each other.

Experiment and learn

Explore new areas adjacent to your own, and dive into adjacent topics different from your own. Enjoy the rush of novelty and unknown territory, and let your creativity loose.

Work in a way that feels different

Step into a welcoming space filled with open areas designed to encourage interactions and connections with individuals who share your passions. This is no ordinary workspace – here, we transform work into a fun, creative, and shared experience.

Reimagine the future

You can be sure that among the people you tinker with there will be some who will truly push the boundary of how technology can improve our lives in the future. Maybe it's you?

Main themes and tracks

Centering around technology and humans at the cutting edge of innovation

Mechanism Design and Incentive Structures

Work on fascinating problems involving complex incentive systems within and outside of blockchains, using methods such as simulations and agent-based modeling

Applied Cryptography and Scalability

Zero Knowledge Cryptography is an emerging paradigm with tons of unexploited potential. Starting from privacy and scalability the range of use cases is constantly expanding

Artificial Intelligence and Autonomous Agents

AI is already shaping our world and will do so more and more. It has truly disruptive potential and brings up big questions of ownership, control and direction

Governance and Public Good Funding

Technology can aid but not fully solve human coordination. Exploring organizations like DAOs raises questions about efficient resource allocation while minimizing bureaucracy

Immersive Experiences and the Human Aspect

Uniting a curious and creative group of people is immensely valuable, which can be amplified further through emotional depth and special types of exploration unique to ZuGarden

Exploration of Thai and Asian Heritage

Let's journey into unknown lands with fascinating people, beautiful scenery, and amazing food. Leave the big cities behind and take a breath in nature
