Kiduna Live 2026
The Future of Human and Machine Agency — Live from Shepherdstown, West Virginia
Join entrepreneurs, creators, technologists, policymakers, investors, educators, researchers, and community builders from around the world for two days of exploration, celebration, and collaboration at the culmination of the Summer Dunathon and the launch of the Autumnal Dunathon.
Hosted in historic Shepherdstown, West Virginia—and streamed globally with participants joining from around the world—Kiduna Live brings together the people building the next generation of organizations, communities, and economies powered by human creativity and intelligent agents.
Over the course of the event, participants will share the results of months of research, experimentation, and real-world building across four critical domains: Culture, Economics, Governance, and Technology. You’ll hear directly from founders, builders, policymakers, and pioneers working to establish the foundations of the emerging agentic economy.
