After months of planning and preparing, we’re ready to kick off <strong><a href="https://www.accessnow.org/page/m/3717cf21/13aebe8c/70adffaf/1de12f22/735869621/VEsC/" title="https://www.rightscon.org" target="_blank">RightsCon Silicon Valley 2014</a></strong>, the premier gathering of tech policy leaders, entrepreneurs, and digital rights defenders from around the world. I’m in awe of the amazing lineup of speakers and experts, and we want to make sure you have access to them too!</p>
<p>
Starting tomorrow, <strong>RightsCon</strong> participants will spend three days exploring the progress and challenges at the intersection of human rights and new technologies. The discussions will be all about building an internet that puts users at the center, and remains open and free for future generations -- and that’s why we’re committed to making sure you can take part in <strong>RightsCon</strong>, either in person or online.</p>

<strong>RightsCon is dedicated to future-proofing human rights.</strong> We’re going to be tackling the most difficult issues of the day, and seeking a path forward. If you can, we want you to join us in person in San Francisco. But if you can’t make it in person, it doesn’t mean you can’t still be a part of RightsCon!</p>
