The guest speakers will be Prof. James Boyle from Duke University, a leading scholar working on issues related to the Public Domain, and Anna Mazgal, Senior Policy Advisor at Wikimedia Europe and an advocate for openness and digital rights.

The Paradox of Open is at the heart of Open future work, and over the last year, it have been holding conversations on what the paradox means and how to address it. Open future also asked leaders and experts from the broad open movement to respond to the essay.
