An Exclusive Summit
For The Leading Minds in P2P Technology
Lugano, Switzerland | 18th July 2025
From Protocol to Possibility
The Internet's architecture is shifting. Around the world, small, brilliant teams are building a future without servers, gatekeepers, or centralized control. The P2P Summit is where they meet.
This invite-only gathering in the beautiful city of Lugano brings together a handpicked group of technologists—protocol architects, infrastructure founders, open-source maintainers, and systems thinkers—working at the edge of what’s possible. You won’t find stages or keynote speeches. Just conversation, collaboration, and the exchange of ideas between those shaping the decentralized web.
If you’re building the future of P2P, we want you there, which is why selected participants will have their flights and accommodations fully covered.
Built for the Builders
The P2P Summit is designed for those at the forefront of peer-to-peer innovation—those not just building systems, but redefining the foundations of the internet itself.
This invite-only gathering is reserved for protocol inventors, distributed systems pioneers, open-source leaders, and infrastructure founders who are shaping how software scales without central servers, permissions, or gatekeepers.
Throughout the summit, this exclusive group will engage in focused technical dialogue, peer reviews, and shared problem-solving—creating the kind of high-trust environment where real progress happens.
Where Future Thinking Meets Alpine Clarity
Set on the serene shores of Lake Lugano and framed by the Swiss Alps, Lugano isn’t just beautiful—it’s boldly forward-thinking.
Long recognized as a hub of innovation, Lugano has embraced open technology, digital currencies, and sovereign infrastructure like few places in the world. As the first city to formally adopt Bitcoin and stablecoins as legitimate means of transaction, it has become a real-world case study in decentralized living.
For the minds shaping the peer-to-peer future, there’s no better setting. Quiet, walkable, and deeply connected to the ideals of privacy and digital freedom, Lugano offers both the mental space and the policy environment for visionary work.
Hosted by Holepunch, the P2P Company
Holepunch builds tools for a decentralized future. We’re the team behind Pear Runtime, the open-source protocol for peer-to-peer apps, Bare, a lightweight JavaScript runtime for modular development, and Keet, a secure, P2P messaging platform redefining private communication.
From messaging to infrastructure, our mission is simple: enable developers to build powerful, private apps—without servers, gatekeepers, or compromise. The P2P Summit is where this vision comes to life. A gathering of the technologists pushing the boundaries of decentralization.
