:globe_with_meridians: State of the Network on August 29th

Twice a year, we gather virtually as a community to celebrate the past six months and look forward to the future. ​We call this our State of the Network, and it is not your typical zoom call.

Join us on August 29th for this special community-wide gathering, where we will share updates about the latest Cabin happenings, recognize community members who have gone above and beyond, and help you learn how you can get connected and build a neighborhood where you live!

We’ve gone through big changes as a community over the past six months, and this is your chance to plug back in and help build towards our evolving vision. And—to make the State of the Network even better—the one and only DJ JD will be back to emcee the event with us.

It will take place from October 11-14 near Austin, Texas. Tickets to camp are $700, which is all-inclusive (covers attendance, housing, food, drinks, and transportation for the whole event). The event is filling up and the application deadline approaches — so apply now!
