Edge City Lanna Weekly Programs are Live!

Along with our month-long residencies and tech experiments, Edge City Lanna also provides topic-focused programs with sessions, workshops, and discussions on weekly basis.

Find out what topics interest you and dive in with us in Chiang Mai! (🧵,👇)
Introducing Month-Long Residencies in Edge City Lanna!

Residencies are member-organized sub-villages with particular themes, consisting of 10-50 people each. Individual residency has its own approach but will be integrated into the broader Edge City program.

Here are several residencies you should check out and apply to (🧵,👇)
More than excited to live, work, and experiment with all these amazing teams! 🥳
Edge City Tech Stack

Our villages are focused on practical experimentation with new tech.

Here are some of the teams who will be running experiments on the ground at Edge City Lanna, with many more to come (apply to join, link in bio) ☀️

Also, thanks to @justindrake for encouraging us to get back into Farcaster. It's good to be back :)
Super grateful to receive a grant from @Optimism to feature some pieces from their ‘We ❤️ The Art’ campaign at the Edge Esmeralda event this June. 🌞

We'll be working with W❤️TA contest winner @earthbits as the curator for this program!

More info about Edge Esmeralda here: https://edgeesmeralda.com/
Clip from a great chat with @zac-aztec and @timour about how popup cities like Zuzalu and Edge City can be crucibles for innovation in emergent industries.
How best to approach the content programming at our popup villages?

Our take is:

☀️ Maximize surface area for serendipity
☀️ Collaboration rather than just consumption
☀️ Diversity of disciplines
