Dinacon is Back!
The Fourth Digital Naturalism Conference: Bali, June 23-July 22, 2025 with Sea Communities!
Me @OSHWA @leeborg and @pte are running it! Thanks also to @Harold who originally connected us with Sea Communities!
You are invited to apply to join us next June and July for the fourth edition of our experimental unconference about interacting with nature! https://2025.dinacon.org/
If you are new to Dinacon, it’s a fun thing where we gather people together from all over the world to join with a local partner in a spot with interesting nature. There you have to come up with and complete some kind of project for yourself and help give feedback on other folks’ projects. The entire theme is about finding new ways of interacting with the natural world.
This means no matter your background (perhaps biology, architecture, computer programming), you are invited to help us learn ways to play with the living non-human world.
Local Partner - Sea Communities
This time, Dinacon will be joining with Sea Communities! They are a super cool group in Les Village on the outskirts of Bali island who run community projects to improve the nearby environment (like coral restoration, salt farming, or DIY plastic recycling!). They offer tons of different extra activities too like scuba diving and cultural tours!
How to Join?
You can actually apply now! We are still getting more information together on the page (like different node leaders that will be hosting public projects), but you can go ahead and apply now if you want! Our application is simple, mostly you just tell us about a project you think you want to do when you join us! So check out the information, think about something fun you want to do there, and submit an application. (Note: we expect most project proposals will drastically change by the time dinacon happens, don’t worry about that!)
Early Applications Close: November 3, 2024
All Applications Close: Jan 1, 2025

How Much Does it Cost?
See our cost calculator here!* There is a sliding scale for people who can pay more to help provide subsidized rates for those who can’t. Costs include food, lodging, and transportation from the airport (not materials or flights). In general, it will probably cost around $89 per person per day. This is cheaper than just the cost of most hotels at most conferences! This is cheaper than just the registration fee at most conferences!
*Note these numbers are not final. We are still refining the actual figures, but this will give you a ballpark idea!
