Global Voice Summit 2024
An international gathering on digital media, knowledge and activism from a Global Majority perspective. Join the summit at the Hotel Yak & Yeti in Kathmandu, Nepal on December 6-7 for two days of connection, collaboration and conversation with journalists, activists, technologists, and others from around the world.
Global Voices Summit 2024
At the Global Voices Summit 2024, a community of writers, translators, human rights advocates and technologists from around the globe will come together along with the partners organizations and others to discuss digital media, knowledge, and activism.
In interactive sessions, panels and debates, the summit will delve into complex issues like free expression, language diversity and the conditions that either help or hinder them. It will examine threats such as transnational repression and digital authoritarianism, explore open knowledge initiatives in a fragmenting internet, and hear from the Third Pole about lessons learned in media making, political activism and environmental justice.
Since 2006, Global Voices Summits have brought together innovative and inspiring digital activist and citizen media networks from around the world. Past Summits in London, New Delhi, Budapest, Santiago de Chile, Nairobi, Cebu City, and Colombo and Taipei, have strengthened community ties, sparked new friendships, and served as a rich breeding ground for new ideas and collaborations across borders.
Meeting face to face and not
Global Voices Summits combine a public conference focused on key issues impacting citizen media and the global internet, with a closed, working meeting for the Global Voices community. The internal meeting provides an opportunity for contributors to Global Voices—who live all over the world—to meet face to face and discuss core issues relating to our mission, practice and impact.
