Manifest 2023, Sep 22-24 in Berkeley — the first forecasting festival of its kind, hosted by Manifold!
We can’t wait to see you all there — where the top minds around the forecasting space are brought together. Our guests of honour and speakers list is “giga stacked” as they say.
There’s going to be so many prediction markets. And so much good food. In the beautifully refurbished Rose Garden Inn, Berkeley, CA. Get your tickets: https://www.manifestconference.net/tickets
Still on the fence? Let me convince you!
Venue
Recently acquired and redesigned by Lightcone, RGI is the perfect venue for Manifest.
With 3 large outdoor spaces, meeting rooms, infinite beanbags in cozy corners, a fully-equipped gym and onsite hotel-style accommodation is definitely a huge selling point. The goal of such a venue is to really enhance 1:1’s and small group conversations.
Schedule & Guests of honour
Note the schedule is still tentative — we will have a more detailed and accurate schedule sent to attendees closer to the event. While the speakers in the schedule are confirmed, the times and topics may change. Not all the guests of honour are included in the image above, and not all of them will be hosting talks.
In addition to those currently scheduled, we’re finalising sessions from Aella, Destiny, Polymarket, Metaculus, Douglas Campbell, Zvi, Tony Kulesa, Epoch AI, and more!
There will also be permanent dedicated rooms to hang out and chill for the following:
Board/card games
Silent workspaces and private studios
Gym
Console gaming
Arts & crafts
Dark, nap room
Snacks and drinks
Movie showings
Community Events
We are accepting community-led events and lightning talks! Please fill out this form if interested.
We’re also looking for extra volunteers — if you’d like to help out, please check the box when registering for your ticket, or email manifest@manifold.markets
Sponsors
While Manifold is organising the event, it is made possible by our wonderful sponsors! Not only are they providing financial support, but will also be hosting talks and contributing their invaluable knowledge in the forecasting space.
Thank you so much to:
Kalshi — our tier 1 sponsor
Food
I am a big foodie and I hate going to multi-day events where the free food sucks. So I’m going to try really hard to make sure the food is amazing!
We will be serving 5 meals included with your ticket — Dinner Fri-Sun and Lunch Sat-Sun.
We will be serving plenty of vegetarian and vegan options in addition to meat.
Here are a couple of examples of menus our catering partner has provided which are from 4.6 star local restaurants! Note that we may not choose either of these menus.
Ticket deadline
Now that you are convinced, be sure to buy your tickets asap as prices increase at the end of Friday 8th!
https://www.manifestconference.net/tickets
If you are a student or work for a forecasting organisation, you’re eligible for a free ticket! Please try to register by Friday 8th too, as this will greatly help us ensure a smooth event.
We will be allowing attendees to buy tickets after Friday 8th, but the prices will be higher, and last-minute additions may not get a nice name badge and merch if we run out.
We can’t wait to see you there!
