SCALING TRUST
IN THE AGE OF AI
ZURICH ONLINE EDITION
LIVE FROM ZURICH, Switzerland
ONLINE
Anything can be faked.
DKGcon is about what
can still be verified.
A face, a voice, a source, a whole identity — all cheap to fake now. So how do you verify anything when deepfakes, impersonation and synthetic content cost nothing to produce?
What?
DKGcon 2026 is a free online conference on scaling trust in the age of AI. Join us to learn how to make AI verifiable with trusted knowledge.
When & where?
Broadcast live from Zurich on 11 September 2026, from 15:00 CEST (13:00 UTC / 09:00 EDT).
Why join?
Whether you build AI, defend against its misuse, or simply need machines you can trust, you’ll get:
- Keynotes on the trust problem of the AI era and how a decentralized knowledge layer answers it
- Verifiable AI in practice, from provenance to enterprise use cases you can audit
- Live demos and builder sessions
From the founders and engineers at OriginTrail, Umanitek, and Trace Labs, and other teams building the verifiable Internet and putting it into production.
