Our time together starts with framing the concept of platform cooperativism. Later in the day, we will discuss the governance, legal realities and financing of platform co-ops. Friday will culminate in a showcase that will introduce a number of actually-existing projects that put these principles into action.
Saturday morning begins with a brief recap, followed by a showcase of projects that can provide essential infrastructure to the platform-cooperative ecosystem. In the afternoon and into the evening, discussions and workshops will enable us to coalesce our projects and ideas into strategies for meaningfully expanding ownership and governance of online platforms.
