The Global Gathering will offer:
Networking, Meetups & Circles
We will provide participants with tools and spaces to mobilize around critical topics. While Team CommUNITY will facilitate topical and regional meetups, attendees will also be able to coordinate their own discussions at the event, creating a more self-organized, community-driven experience.
Villages & Private Events
The Global Gathering offers organizations and networks the opportunity to host their ownpublic and private events. This year, we are hosting regional villages plus instances dedicated to specific topics of the digital rights space, which will be led by specialists.
Booths
Spaces will be available for showcasing work, conducting demos, or running skillshares during longer periods so attendees can engage with projects and organizations meaningfully and at a more informal pace.
The 2026 Global Gathering will bring together digital rights defenders from all over the world focus on the most urgent challenges at the intersection of technology and human rights.
Join us for three days of networking and collaboration focusing on innovative grassroots approaches to technology challenges, circumvention and secure communication technologies, and organizational sustainability.
