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 informal meetups and discussions. There will also be sun, food, music, local vendors, booths showcasing digital rights 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.
