Overview
Date: September 15, 16, and 17
Time: 13:30 - 20:00 local time
Where: Estoril, Portugal
Afternoon Activities
Meet 'n' Greet and Networking Opportunities
One of the repeated reasons applicants stated for joining the Feira, was reconnecting with individuals in the digital rights space as well as networking and meeting new digital rights activists.
We will have structured, facilitated, networking opportunities hosted on a daily basis to help people re-kindle and reinforce those older working relationships and expand their networks.
Semi-Private Meetups
Semi-Private Meetups will be held in a quiet space outside of the main Feira area so that participants can have more privacy. They will be focused on bringing together specific participant profiles.
Keep an eye on the Global Gathering Feira mailing list for updates about how to schedule semi-private and private meetups in the coming months.

If you are interested in hosting a public meetup or discussion open to all Feira participants, please contact [email protected] for more information about scheduling.
Project Booths
The Feira will be hosted in an outdoor space, surrounded by individual vendor booths. Individuals will have the opportunity to showcase their projects, organizations, and research in a booth that can be personalized for the duration of their scheduled shift. Projects can schedule 2 - 4-hour shifts on one or more days of the Feira.
You can still apply to showcase your project at the Feira! Apply here.
Evening Activities
Each evening from 17 - 20 local time, the Feira space will turn up the volume and turn down the lights (i.e. the sun will begin to set).
Evening activities will include:
- Live music, DJ sets, and karaoke;
- Food vendors, as well as complimentary small bites (i.e. tapas);
- Non-alcoholic beverages, beer and wine;
- Space for continued informal discussions, networking, relaxing, and some glitter paint.
