The 10th anniversary of RightsCon is one week away (June 7-11, 2021) and we’re taking a moment to provide an update and reminder of core policies, principles, and processes that help ensure the space is safe, productive, and inclusive.
As with past years, the core principles and policies governing RightsCon, such as our Code of Conduct and our Participation & Privacy Policy, remain in place. By registering, participants agree to read through and abide by these policies.
Registered participants can find information about safety and security directly on the RightsCon platform, including on ways to report, details about our approach, and our ful
In 2020, when we transitioned RightsCon online for the first time, despite the uncertain environment, we were excited about the opportunity to increase representation more than ever before. While our online platform provided means for people to participate and connect across regions (we welcomed 7,681 participants), we also learned from this experience about the tech, language, and literacy barriers it created. During our planning process for the 10th anniversary of RightsCon (June 7-11, 2021), inclusion and accessibility have remained integral areas of focus.
What do we mean when we say inclusion and accessibility? While we often hear these concepts used loosely or interchangeably, we want to be intentional in our wording and transparent in our efforts. When we talk about inclusion, we’re referring to our commitment to ensure people from diverse backgrounds can actively participate, contribute to discussions, and have equitable opportunities in the RightsCon community. Increasing accessibility refers to designing our online spaces centered around the various needs, abilities, and priorities of participants and providing

The 10th edition of RightsCon (June 7-11) is less than a month away, and as plans for the program – our largest yet! – take shape, our team is excited to introduce a new initiative called Open Spaces to help our community connect, form partnerships, and advance the conversation for human rights in the digital age.
The idea for Open Spaces originated from feedback that we received from RightsCon Online (2020). Participants wanted to see more opportunities for networking and spaces to make “hallway” connections, socialize, and unwind, as we would have in an in-person setting. Open Spaces emphasize building partnerships, coalitions, and networks of trust within the RightsCon community – and, importantly, offer an opportunity to have a little fun and relax.
RightsCon 2021 will support three different formats for Open Spaces: Social Hours, Free Play, and After Dark.
☞ Social Hours are hosted in an integrated platform and provide flexible, informal space for meeting other participants on a variety of topics, from social or creative activities, games and icebreakers, to drop-in hours with funders and company leaders, and more. Every day of RightsCon will host a few Social Hours, each of which will open for 60 minutes and will feature virtual “tables” that seek to replicate the feel of meeting new and old friends over coffee breaks in an in-person summit.

Registration for the 10th edition of RightsCon (June 7-11, 2021), the world’s leading summit on human rights in the digital age, is now open, with early bird tickets (both paid and free) available until March 31, 2021!
RightsCon 2021 will take place entirely online, spanning all time zones, with both live and asynchronous content from Monday June 7, 2021 to Friday June 11, 2021.
Over the last decade, RightsCon has been a home for a growing digital rights movement, gathering thousands of human rights defenders, advocates, creatives, policy makers, technologists, journalists, private sector representatives from around the world. Last year, our first online event welcomed nearly 8,000 participants from 158 countries. This year’s program will host hundreds of sessions to reflect on the evolving nature of our work, celebrate what we have achieved, and chart a path forward in a moment where civil society-led spaces are most needed.
Our approach to registration
Since our first event in 2011, inclusion has been the guiding principle of RightsCon, informing our approach to registration no matter where we gathered. In 2019, we offered over 2,000 free tickets at RightsCon Tunis and las
