Early Bird Registration: Sunday, March 31

Virtually Connecting

While we encourage folks to get as much in-person time as possible, the IFF does have an Mattermost instance, which is a more awesome, secure and open source version of Slack. Besides hosting various topical rooms, every Thursday throughout the year we host IFF Glitter Meetup, which allow you to connect with people on a weekly basis. If you would like an invite, please email team@internetfreedomfestival.org
