What’s happening?
ORG are coming North this year! We are bringing an ORG flavoured digital rights conference to Manchester on Saturday April 13th.
The event is packed with exciting speakers, panel debates and workshops.
John Buckman, chairman of the board at Electronic Frontier Foundation and founder of the record label Magantune is giving the keynote speech on challenges that ORG will be facing in the coming year.
Key ORG issues, such as Section 127 and freedom of speech, the Communications Data Bill, privacy and copyright will all be discussed by experts, see our provisional programme for more details.
We'll be running an “unconference track” with room for any attendees, panel guests or ORG staff to give a talk or start a pop-up debate on something you care about.
Free tickets are available for ORG supporters who join before April 13th: find out more at the event page and join ORG now.
We look forward to seeing you there!
Sincerely,
Ruth CoustickMember Support Officer
