Welcome to the Governance Geeks Hub page! Here you will find all the latest information and agenda updates about the hub. Come visit us any day during Devcon 7, November 12-15, from 10am-3pm!

Summary of the Governance Geeks Hub

This Hub offers “governance geeks” a chance to tap into the collective intelligence of Governance Leads and Facilitators from major DAOs who will be facilitating the Hub. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of the current governance structures, the tools and infrastructure supporting DAOs, and the legal, financial, operational considerations critical to their success. We’ll explore both past and future trends, and discuss the developments in DAO governance that excite us most.

Why have a Governance Geeks Hub?

Creating spaces that bring together diverse perspectives and stakeholders to share experiences and ideas is essential for developing sustainable solutions that enhance the governance experience. Whether someone is interested in working on governance design or participating in governance as a stakeholder or contributor, this hub will be relevant for them.

The team facilitating the Governance Geeks Hub will be a group of DAO operators who are focused on governance design and coordinating for various major DAOs (Celo, ZK Nation, EigenLayer, Uniswap, Optimism and more). Participants will be able to tap into the knowledge and experience of these folks, as well as that of other participants.

To ensure these discussions and learnings do not stay with those who participate, we want to produce a summary of the discussions in the form of a blog or forum post for each day of the Hub.

Implementation

To guide the conversation and allow everyone to get the most value from the governance hub we will shape the discussions through a past-present-future lens. We’ll spend the first day on history and lessons learned from the recent governance experiments. The bulk of the next two days will focus on what’s happening in DAOs and governance today and share current innovations and allow operators to present some of their work. The last day will focus on the future of governance and give us a chance to collectively imagine what kinds of systems we want to build and participate in.

Our goal with the programming of this hub is to give some structure while offering flexibility for varied discussions guided by attendees interests and expertise. During all four days we will have ongoing activities where anyone can express a topic of interest and organize a discussion around it during the open mic part of the day. We know the huge value that peer learning environments provide are excited to offer a space where the agenda can be co-created by the participants.

Governance Geeks Hub Agenda

The space will be active between 10:00am and 3:00pm each day between November 12th and 15th. Active means organizers will be present and helping facilitate the hub.

Outside of the planned agenda, we invite governance geeks to hang out and continue discussions. This can be your governance retreat / safe space all throughout Devcon!
