Liberty in Our Lifetime 2024

October 31 – November 3, 2024

Liberty in Our Lifetime 2024, the annual gathering of the global Free Cities community now held as the Free Cities Conference, brought 350+ attendees to Prague’s Empire Hall for two days of talks on building free jurisdictions: private cities like Próspera and Ciudad Morazán in Honduras, intentional communities such as Montelibero and Liberstad, the self-governing island of Sark, and the wider toolkit of seasteading, flag theory and personal sovereignty.
