Welcome to The Convergence.
In the spirit of open-source innovation, we're creating this bi-monthly call as a free, communal space for practitioners, developers, and researchers to strengthen ties, cross-pollinate ideas, and drive innovation across our field. This is a community-first initiative from CrownShy, dedicated to advancing the field together.
Who is this for?
Practitioners & facilitators designing and running in-person deliberative processes.
Developers & builders creating digital democracy platforms and tools.
Researchers & academics studying, evaluating, and theorising new democratic models.
If you are working in any capacity to make online and offline public discourse and decision-making more thoughtful, inclusive, and impactful, this community is for you!
What to expect in our pilot series (Launching November 2025):
Featured speakers: Insightful talks from leading allies in the field.
Open discussion: Breakout sessions and open-floor conversations to share challenges and solutions.
Community shout-outs: A dedicated time to share projects, ask for help, and find collaborators.
A professional community: Focused on tangible insights and forging genuine connections.
Duration: Each call will last 75 minutes
By joining the list, you'll get advanced notification of our first official call date and time.
This event will be recorded and shared publicly on the CrownShy YouTube channel.
Let's help shape the future of democracy, together!
