	==What is the ~~difference between~~ the Summit and the Feira?==		==What is the Global Gathering going to be like and what role do the Summit and the Feira play in the event?==

	The ~~'''''Summit''''' at~~ the Global Gathering will be ~~a small, invite~~-~~only~~ event that ~~engages managers and community leaders from~~ the ~~digital rights space in~~ a ~~highly facilitated unconference. Discussions will focus on~~ the ~~most pressing issues in the digital rights space~~ - ~~many exacerbated by the~~ pandemic ~~- including mapping out emerging threats and challenges in the digital rights space as well as organizational health~~.		The 2023 edition of the Global Gathering (GG) will take place in Estoril, Portugal, from September 15 - 17, and will be composed of two main components - the Summit and the Feira. This year’s event design is unique and exceptional, given that this the “alpha” version of a three year vision, and the first event we do post-pandemic.

	The ~~'''''~~Summit~~'''''~~ will take place ~~in the mornings~~ from 09:00 - 13:00 ~~local time, allowing participants the freedom to take full advantage~~ of the ~~Feira in~~ the ~~afternoons and evenings~~.		The Summit is the invite-only, facilitated portion of the GG and will take place from 9:00 to 13:00 each day of the event. It will bring together 200 managers and decision-makers from across the digital rights space.

	~~The '''''Feira'''''~~ at the ~~Global Gathering will be held~~ in the ~~afternoons and evenings in a tree-filled, outdoor venue in sunny Estoril, Portugal. It is designed to provide~~ digital rights ~~defenders (DRDs) with a rejuvenating~~ space ~~to reconnect~~, ~~relax~~ and ~~host self-organized meetups and discussions~~. ~~There~~ will ~~also be sun~~, ~~food~~, ~~music~~, ~~local~~ vendors, ~~booths showcasing digital rights organizations and projects~~, and ~~fun~~ evening ~~activities (did someone say karaoke?!). If you are interested in joining the Feira, this year your focus should be on networking and recharging your batteries with your colleagues~~.		Alternatively, attendance at the Feira was open to application for anyone working in the digital rights space. The Feira will take place from 13:30 - 20:30 each day of the GG, and will welcome an additional 300 community members on top of the 200 Summit invitees. The Feira will feature a Project Showcase, Meetups, networking, food vendors, sun, and evening entertainment.

	~~The '''''Feira''''' will take place in~~ the ~~mornings from 13:30 - 20:00 local time, with evening music~~ and ~~entertainment starting at 18:00.~~		==How can I apply to the Summit and the Feira?==

	~~==What kinds~~ of ~~activities~~ will be ~~held at~~ the Feira~~? (Or~~.~~..Will~~ there be ~~sessions?)==~~		The Summit is an invite-only event. Generally, we invited 1 decision-maker per organization to ensure diversity of entities present.
	==~~Does~~ Team CommUNITY ~~have an Equity Fund~~ to support participant travel costs?==
			The Feira was open to application for anyone working in the digital rights space, however the applications are now closed. All Summit attendees and approved Feira attendees will be able to participate in the Feira and showcase their projects and/or facilitate or participate in Meetups. While some meetups were pre-scheduled before the GG, there will be ample space for participants to arrange self-organized meetups when they arrive at the venue, to allow room for organic conversations to develop.

			==Is Team CommUNITY able to support participant travel costs?==

			Due to limited availability of funds, we cannot fully launch our Equity Fund for 2023. However, we have been working with attendees to support them to obtain alternative funding. If you can financially support someone for 2023, please reach out by emailing gather@digitalrights.community
