Manifest is back! We're returning to Lighthaven on June 12-14! You can buy your tickets now on the Manifest website, with Early Bird pricing through this Saturday, April 18. What: Manifest is a festival ostensibly about prediction markets, but secretly about connecting with old friends and people you admire from your favorite niche corners of the internet. It is a gathering of nerds who want to find the thinkers and practitioners they vehemently agree/disagree with, share a meal around a cozy campfire, and come away with radically new ways of thinking. If you attend, don’t be surprised to find yourself engrossed in a late-night rabbit hole with your future cofounder, a serendipitous nerd snipe from an internet celebrity, and the joy of a crowd cheering (and betting with mana) on a wrestling match between strangers. Who: 500-650 exceptional people, from many fields, including but not limited to: forecasting, rationality, effective altruism, AI & AI safety, economics, finance, tech, policy, writing, and novel ideas. When: June 12-14 (Fri-Sun) Where: Lighthaven, Berkeley, CA (map) How: * 🎟️ Tickets (Early Bird until Sat 4/18!) * 🏡 Room bookings To get updates: Join our Discord And this year, we want to make it even better, focusing on the things attendees have told us they value most: high session quality and variety, well-curated attendees, thoughtful sponsor presence, delightfully engaging activities, easy-to-use scheduling, clear community guidelines, and structured ways to meet and stay in touch with the people you’re supposed to meet.
