Completely sold out: a profound co-living experience in Thailand with deep tech explorers!
Nov 10th – Nov 30th 2024
ZuGarden was a 3-week immersive Zuzalu-style pop-up village in Thailand by the creators of ZuBerlin during and after Devcon 7. 🌱
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. 💥

Week One (Nov 10 - 18)
Bangkok at Devcon’s Doorstep
Week #1 of ZuGarden will take place in the heart of Bangkok, close to Devcon. During this time, we’ll offer premium five-star accommodation and a welcoming space reserved exclusively for ZuGardeners to meet fellow participants, co-work, or hold meetings.
With a light program, you’ll have the perfect balance of enjoying Devcon and having a comfortable space to retreat to when needed.

Weeks Two and Three (Nov 18 - 30)
The Island Experience
After Devcon, the journey continues as we head to a secluded beach resort on a Thai island known for its authenticity and untouched by mass tourism. Here, we’ll dive deeper into talks, workshops, and collaborative sessions, all set against the stunning backdrop of natural beauty and rich Thai culture.
We blend authentic Thai and nature experiences with co-created spaces that foster both intellectual exploration and genuine personal connections. Are you curious to see where this will take you? ✨

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.

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.

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
Data Science and Artificial Intelligence
Explore data-based investigations and creating sophisticated automations. Ranging from applied Dune dashboards and prediction markets to more philosophical aspects of truth
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 through emotional depth and vulnerability
Exploration of Thai and Asian culture in beautiful nature
Let's journey into unknown lands with fascinating people, beautiful scenery, amazing food and truly local experiences
