Manifest 2023

The inaugural Manifest was held in September last year. 250 attendees spent a weekend hanging out, running talks and workshops, insider trading, and doing other prediction market shenanigans.

"manifest conference was so fun 10/10 recommend"
- Aella
“The vibes were immaculate. I was actively excited by easily 70% of the talks and side conversations. Fantastic.”
- Molly H
“I think this is the first festival (of very many total) I've attended that has made me feel genuinely sad afterwards that it has ended.”
- Richard K
“It's like I walked through the wardrobe into Narnia for years, and now that I've left it was somehow no time at all.”
- Joshua F

PLUS: Summer camp

Manifest 2024 will bring back the things people raved about last year — the beautiful venue, the strong community, the engaging talks — with one extra twist:

We're hosting Manifest Summer Camp in the week leading up to the main event, Jun 3 - Jun 7. By day, cowork and collaborate; by night, join fireside chats, karaoke, games, popups and more. All of this directly at the world's coziest venue, Lighthaven!

The Lightcone team is also planning LessOnline, an unconference centered around rationalist bloggers and their ideas, the weekend prior.

So book your flights & lodging with room to spare; we'll see you at camp~
