BLISS Summit 2024, hosted by DEMO LAB FOUNDATION and K SQUARED CAPITAL, stands as a convergence of exceptional minds — a symposium where kindred spirits from the echelons of finance, academia, philanthropy, family offices, visionary business leaders, artisans of creativity, contemplative think tanks, venerable CEOs, technology masterminds, world-leading academics, and global trailblazers unite.

Demo Lab aims to imagine the future and the intersection of civic engagement, education and technology. We were honored to host Chairman, Founder and CEO of Block Inc, Jack Dorsey, and the Founder of BLISS, Chairman of Demo Lab, President/CEO of the Reynolds Foundation and strategist at KSquared Capital, Dr. Álvaro Salas Castro, to this talk.

Both avid surfers, Kendrick Lamar aficionados and punk rock enthusiasts residing in Costa Rica, Dorsey and Salas Castro discuss how the critical intersection of technology, private sector solutions and education can be used to fortify democracy.

This talk is brought to you by Demo Lab Foundation, FWD Academies, and The Reynolds Foundation.
