Edge Esmeralda is Devon Zuegel’s month-long popup village in Healdsburg, California — a temporary town where people building in tech, biotech, longevity, and governance live together for weeks to prototype the institutions and community a permanent place might one day run on. Part of the Edge City lineage that grew out of Zuzalu: less a conference than a live experiment in how people coordinate, govern, and actually want to live together.
