Rebuild is a sprint for European social platforms
We are moving fast in order to catch a critical momentum, with the intention of creating space for a new industry – not to take space.
For the same reason, Rebuild is intentionally designed to close down after exactly one year. On 15 December 2026, Rebuild will host the last gathering in Paris, open-sourcing all frameworks, tools, and resources back to a strengthened industry.
