The first platform cooperativism event in 2015 popularized the

#platformcoop idea, and the second event in 2016 brought together co-op and

union leaders to push the model forward. This third event will zero in on

ways that platform cooperatives can help to address some of the future’s

most urgent challenges. The fairer digital economy we need is already

emerging, but it won’t happen on its own. That’s where you come in.


Learn about new platform co-op projects that are shaping this emerging

ecosystem, from blockchain-based financing to user-owned clouds


Reflect on research and lessons from platform co-op experiments in

recent years


Confront growing challenges from artificial intelligence to global

governance


Join leaders from co-ops, industry, labor, and social movements—from

Associated Press to Black Lives Matter—to raise the scale of our ambition


Platform cooperatives are poised to be a dynamic, transformative force in

building a more equitable economy for people across various income, race

and class strata, starting with the most vulnerable populations. This is a

political and economic movement that can disrupt Silicon Valley’s

disruptors by shifting the focus toward fundamentally fairer forms of

ownership and governance. Over the past few years, the burgeoning of

platform co-ops, community currencies, worker’s tech, the solidarity

economy, and B Corps have shown us that alternative economies are not only

necessary but possible. Come help us make platform cooperativism part of

the new normal.
