Good morning from San Francisco, where we’re getting ready for the start of first-ever Silicon Valley Human Rights Conference. The auditorium at the Mission Bay Conference Center is filling up with attendees with their coffee and laptops.
You’ll be able to follow the events today on a couple different channels:
- The conference livestream: rightscon.org/video
- The Twitter hashtag: #rightscon or @rightscon
- And here on the liveblog
I’ll be live-blogging the keynotes as they go–which means that within 5-10 minutes of the end of each talk, I’ll post a recap of the speaker’s discussion. We’re still working on how best to document the excellent breakout panels planned for this afternoon. Check back here for more details.
And to introduce myself–I’m Katherine Maher, a tech/rights geek. You can find me at @krmaher on Twitter.
