Still got questions? Let's talk.

The 26.01.26 launch was just the beginning. Now it's time to dig deeper.

Join us for an open Q&A session where we answer everything you didn't get to ask on launch day—and probably some things you've thought of since.

What's on the agenda?

This is your space to get real answers about:

  • How to actually get involved (beyond just showing up)
  • What initiatives are launching first, and how you can contribute
  • Navigating opportunities within NGN and BCI more broadly
  • Building your network strategically within the community
  • What "founding member" really means and how to make the most of it
  • Anything else you want to know

Who's this for?

Anyone who attended the launch, anyone who missed it but wants to catch up, and anyone still figuring out if NGN is their thing. No question is too basic, too specific, or too ambitious.

The format?

Casual, conversational, and led by you. Bring your questions, and we'll bring the answers and honest insights about where NGN is headed.

We look forward to welcoming you!
