When: September 27, 28, 29

Where: Estoril, Portugal

The Global Gathering (GG) brings together digital rights networks from around the world to strengthen human connections and knowledge-share, and improve the solutions and strategies addressing the most acute challenges arising at the intersection of human rights, social justice and technology.

The event will provide digital rights defenders and their allies a space to network, share knowledge, collectively brainstorm, and rejuvenate. Event activities will focus on enhancing networking and collaborative discussions through meetups, workshops, opportunities to demo and showcase projects, and more.

2024 programmatic themes include: Ecosystem Wellbeing; Circumvention Technologies; Security, Threats, and Risks; and Digital Rights 2050.

The 2024 edition will double in size from the 2023 event to around 900-1,000 participants. This is 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.
