Championing Digital Democracy for All:
Collective Action from the Technology for Democracy Cohort
Please join us in person for a Summit for Democracy cohort event where we will tackle priority action areas, including technology to support open and secure access to the Internet, and strengthening digital public infrastructure and tech for good governance. Explore how we can drive cross-sector collaboration among open, democratic societies beyond this year’s Summit for Democracy.
Additional details, including an event agenda and Zoom link for an online audience, will be distributed to confirmed participants before the event.
We hope you will be able to join us in Washington D.C. and look forward to the dialogue. Please RSVP to attend in-person ASAP and before March 22, 2023. Breakfast will be available before the program. If you do not plan to attend in person, please RSVP with this link to register for the online event registration.
