[bestbits] IGF Special invitation: Latin America in a Glimpse

[Claudio Ruiz]

Dear friends

The next Internet Governance Forum (IGF) will be held in Brazil, and it is a perfect opportunity for the international community to get close and understand the reality around human rights on the internet in Latin America.

In that context, Derechos Digitales and the Association for Progressive Communication (APC) wants to invite you to the release of a new version of "Latin America In A Glimpse", a summary document about the most important facts around digital rights in the region this 2015, made in collaboration with Derechos Digitales, APC and Coding Rights (Brazil).

In the opportunity, we will have two conversation tables around the most controversial issues this 2015 in Latin America: The arrival of Free Basics (aka Internet.org), and surveillance on the internet (with special emphasis in the Hacking Team revelations). Activists in the region will discuss about threats and opportunities, and the international community will have the opportunity to ask questions, understand and engage with organisations around the region.

Day: November 9th, 2015
Time: 9:00 - 12:15
Language: English
Where: Hotel Nord Luxxor Skyler, Joao Pessoa
