Global Gathering 2024

Welcome to the 2024 Global Gathering!

When: September 27, 28, 29

Where: Estoril, Portugal

The 2024 Global Gathering brings together digital rights defenders from around the world working on the most pressing issues sitting at the intersection of technology, human rights and social justice. Movements, open-source projects, and countless NGOs gather for a week of solidarity, collaboration and soul glitter.

The 2024 edition is the second in-person event Team CommUNITY is hosting post-pandemic. It is the second stage of a three-year vision to grow the event in a safe, secure and sustainable way to pre-pandemic impact and size. As a result, this year's event design will differ from last year as we continue to iterate to help us confront current challenges of bringing people together, but also help us collectively build a vision for future instances.
