Updates

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

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

+ Organize a off-site Social @ the beach or central park in front of the venue! Enjoy the city. Check out how.

+ 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 info including day trips, healthcare, services, and even tips like how to order coffee.

+ 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. 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.
