Welcome to the 2025 Global Gathering!
When: September 8 - 10, 2025
Where: Estoril, Portugal
The 2025 iteration of the Global Gathering (GG) will bring together diverse individuals from 144+ countries for three days of collaboration, knowledge-sharing, and networking. The event focuses on issues related to digital rights, online security for civil society, and other challenges at the intersection of human rights and technology.
The idyllic outdoor venue in Estoril, Portugal provides participants with the ambience and space to rejuvenate, and the event’s celebrated safety and security measures allow for authentic trust-building across regions and disciplines.
Please note that in response to current funding freezes, this year we are changing the format to provide organizations and networks with more space to host their own public and private events. If you are interested in learning more, please email gather@digitalrights.community.
