<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi<br><br></div>Thanks everyone for today's discussion
and to Jeremy for the run through on the Best Bits calendar. Here are
some more details on RightsCon Silicon Valley 2014:<br></div><br><a href="http://www.rightscon.org">www.rightscon.org</a><br><br>The
event will take on March 3-5 in San Francisco about 6-8 weeks before
the Rio summit (assuming it takes place and is in April/May). Chatting
to a few people today, it could be a good place to help strategize position
and approach for Rio, and bring together members of the BB network ahead
of time.<br><br>The event will bring together global
activists, companies, thinkers, investors, engineers and government officials to
discuss the tensions and opportunities at the intersection of human rights and the internet. We have about 650 people who have already registered interest in attending (you can do so <a href="http://www.rightscon.org/">here</a>).<br>
<br>Located
by Silicon Valley, it has a particular focus on technology companies
and aims to create a space for multistakeholder and business-to-business
dialogue on human rights best practices and learnings in the context of
the private sector.<br><br></div>This year is the first time we will
open up the programing to attendees, and as we enter into a
participatory agenda building process, you can submit a session proposal
<a href="http://www.rightscon.org/submit-a-session/submit/">here</a>. <br><div><br></div><div>I will add more information to the<a href="http://bestbits.net/events/"> <span id="goog_1326065619"></span><span id="goog_1326065620"></span>Best Bits calendar</a> as we progress - but for now please save the date.<br>
