We are collectively growing the program of talks and workshops now. We will regularly update the program here. For the “fullest” version please check the “program” section of this website.
Session/Talk time is ~15-30 minutes. Note that several of the talkers are experts in their fields who gave keynotes at other conferences. People who gather at the Decentralization Unchained event are connected to such projects as Delta.Chat, Autocrypt, PEP/Sequoia, DAT, Riseup, LEAP, and so on.
If you have a topic you’d like to present on – please show up in the morning and talk to the organizers. This is an unconference which means that not all talk topics are pre-settled.

How to join?
Decentralization Unchained is an uncoference – so we encourage spontaneous proposals from interested participants.
2 ways of participating are possible:
- Contact delta@codespeak.net or ksenia@transcyberian.org to propose your talk (no formal “abstract” is needed – just write the title of your talk and 2-3 sentences describing what you want to talk about). You can write in Ukrainian, Russian and English.
- Improvise! Come directly to the venue on November 3. We will have informal brunch with our team and friends from 11 to 12 am. You are welcome to join, you can propose your talk directly there and write it down on the white board.
