Event activities focus on enhancing networking, and collaborative discussions through meetups, workshops, project showcases, and much more! The 2024 edition will double in size from the 2023 event to around 900-1,000 participants, part of Team CommUNITY’s three-year plan to grow the event in a safe, secure and sustainable way to the size and scope achieved pre-pandemic.

Global Gathering Program

Deadline for Submissions: May 31, 2024

This year we are giving participants the opportunity to host two types of activities - Circles and Booths - that address one of the 2024 event’s four tracks: Ecosystem Wellbeing; Circumvention Technologies; Security, Threats and Risks; and Digital Rights 2050. The format of this year’s activities was chosen to enhance creativity and inspire an authentic exchange of ideas.

The Job Fair will bring together diverse digital rights organizations who are actively hiring at the Global Gathering and complement TCU’s popular, year-round Job Board The Global Gathering format is co-designed with our global community - representative of different disciplines, backgrounds and regions - who value collaborative, bottom-up, and joyful approaches.
