Updates

+ We will be updating this section daily with announcements, so check back.

+ Check out the following documents before you arrive: 1) Code of Conduct, 2) Security Policy, and 3) COVID Policy. We will be adhering to these policies rigorously. Do a deep dive by reading How We are Approaching Safety, Security, and Challenges to understand the why.

+ Check out the Facilitator Guide if you are overseeing a Circle or Booth.

+ This interactive map, created by the Global Gathering team, has the location of nearby services, restaurants, cafes, train spots, supermarkets, and even outdoor locations to organize your own off-site meetups. We have also compiled a useful Navigating Estoril page with very useful information including tourism, healthcare, services to useful tips.

+ TCU Security Team has compiled a comprehensive 2024 Travel and Safety Advice document with useful information ranging from digital security to local laws.

+ Connect, be joyful, and immerse yourself in creative energy. The sole purpose of this event is to bring digital rights networks together so we can collectively improve the solutions and strategies addressing the acute challenges our communities are facing that arise at the intersection of human rights, social justice and technology. We cannot do this without building trust with each other so as to improve knowledge sharing and collaboration. We encourage you to check out the Community Culture Guidelines of this event.

+ Please take some time to give Partners love - without them this safe, secure, and creative space would not be possible. Running an event like the GG - and the complimentary Equity Fund - is time consuming and financially burdensome because of the amount of care and details required.
