Session proposals for the 2014 Computers, Freedom, & Privacy Conference are due Tuesday, April 1! Submit your idea here.
CFP2014 is the latest in a series of annual conferences that bring together academics, activists, technologists, policy advocates, practitioners, and lawmakers to focus on providing solutions to important and emerging questions in law, privacy, and technology. It will be held June 8-10 in Washington, DC.
From CFP’s call for submissions:
Proposals must provide a concrete description of what the session hopes to accomplish. CFP proposals may cover a variety of topics. However, the conference will try to address the following questions:
- What are the challenges to individual rights and liberties posed by new technologies?
- What technologies, policies, practices, and laws can best protect human rights in the modern world?
- What is the proper role for civil society and the proper venue or legal strategy to advance this dialogue?
- What does it mean to have a “free” Internet, from both a commercial and government perspective?
Proposal formats:
- Solo Speakers
- Debates
- Roundtable Discussions
- Workshop
- Birds of a Feather
