OPEN 2020 conference

June 11, 2020 - June 12, 2020

The OPEN 2020 conference focuses on practical solutions to co-create a collaborative, regenerative economy that puts people and planet before profit.

Over two days, on the 11th and 12th of June, at Conway Hall in London we will explore:

Money systems and how mutual credit in particular can be transformative.

The features, design patterns and ownership structures of a new, democratic economy.

The tools, technologies and projects that are enabling the new economy.

We are particularly interested to welcome UK cooperatives who are interested in strengthening their commitment to principle 6: ‘cooperation among cooperatives’, by becoming ‘anchor institutions’ of the new economy.

The conference will bring together leaders in alternative monetary theory, community currency designers and practitioners, decentralised technologists, blockchain developers and cryptocurrency experts, alongside cooperative business owners and open source software developers to share insights, address a series of questions and co-create solutions for the new economy.

What will you get out of it?

OPEN 2020 has two aims:

  • To inform attendees about the nature of money, the transformative nature of mutual credit and the latest tools and technologies which support a decentralised, democratic economy.
  • To connect businesses and individuals with the people, tools and technologies to help them co-create, collaborate and start trading in the new, regenerative economy.
