Presenter: Pia Mancini, Open Collective
Presenting: Topic: Cities as Open Collectives
“We need to define a new social and economic unit to enable us to fully operate in this world.”
Pia will be visiting from NYC to speak on Open Collective, the online platform that she co-founded to help ad-hoc groups of people transparently collect and spend money together. This ground-breaking tool is helping people transform how their communities build things together — be that code, art, culture, businesses, or things as yet to be imagined.
