Replacing Capitalism: from Competition to Collaboration
Welcome to Amsterdam! We'd love to invite you to this pre-festival dinner to connect and explore how we can move society to one where we collaborate in building a Human Mycelium Network Society.
What if every company gives back 100% of its profits to build the commons? Over a participatory dinner of vegan soup and bread, join 7 Billion Presidents for an evening of shared reflection on how we shift from a society built on competition to one rooted in collaboration and collective well-being.
Tuesday May 26 · 18:00–21:00 Private apartment, Amsterdam centrum/west (exact address shared after RSVP)
7 Billion Presidents is a growing network of companies experimenting with a radical idea: capitalism replaced by a regenerative, social economy where profit returns to the commons rather than concentrating in private hands. The dinner is the format: warm food, real conversation, and a space to explore what this vision looks like in practice.
A small, intentional gathering to start the festival week with the conversation that should be running underneath all of it: what comes after capitalism, and how do we build it together.
If the sun allows it, we will be on a little Amsterdam rooftop :)
