In 2022, we were thrilled to gather again in person for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic, with our 360/Open Summit in Brussels. We partnered with that year’s all-virtual RightsCon to bring our overlapping communities a conversation between Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Nobel Prize winner Maria Ressa.
This year, we’re excited to build on that partnership and bring our 360/OS programming to RightsCon in Costa Rica June 5-7. As part of our 360/OS: Around the World, we’ll be previewing our forthcoming Task Force for a Trustworthy Future Web report, gathering human rights leaders to talk digital frameworks in Africa, discussing disinformation in Latin America and as a weapon of war in Ukraine, exploring the impact online harassment has on women in political life, and drilling down on what’s to come with the European Union’s Digital Services Act. We’ll be cross programming one session with our team at Riga Stratcom Dialogue, featuring our very own Ukraine-based Roman Osadchuk and Managing Editor, Andy Carvin. Make sure to check out the rest of our 360/OS in Riga programming too!
On “day zero” (June 5), four of our global researchers will host English and Spanish-language Digital Sherlocks trainings focused on building OSINT capacity to advance human rights, open to the full RightsCon community. Make sure to sign up to reserve your space! And don’t forget to check out the rest of RightsCon Costa Rica’s incredible programming – click here to sign up and see the full RightsCon site.
As our team goes around the world and back, we want you to come along. Check out all our 360/OS sessions here. You can also follow along on our Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and LinkedIn pages using the hashtag #360OS and #360CostaRiga.
