[seedig] SEEDIG 8: what's in agenda?

[Olga Kyryliuk]

Dear SEEDIG Community,

We are just 9 days away from SEEDIG 8 meeting. While we finalize the preparations for our Zagreb meeting (our first in-person meeting after 3 years online), we wanted to share a few highlights with you.

SEEDIG 8 will be held under the overarching theme “Digital Beyond Borders: Regional Synergy for Community Advancement”. This theme reflects that cooperation across borders is essential for empowering local communities and offers a space where stakeholders from South Eastern Europe can connect, exchange insights about in-country projects and initiatives, and explore opportunities for enhanced synergies.

This year, SEEDIG’s meeting is co-hosted by Politiscope, a privacy watchdog organisation headquartered in Split.
Among SEEDIG’s key supporting organisations are the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), the Council of Europe, the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), Serbian National Internet Domain Registry Foundation (RNIDS), Internet Society Foundation, Open Society Foundations, Internet Governance Forum Supporting Association, European Registry for Internet Domains - EURid, Regional Internet Registry RIPE NCC, Serbian Open eXchange (SOX), Serbia’s Commissioner for the Protection of Equality, Freedom House, Internews, and other regional and national institutions and organisations.

What’s on the agenda?
SEEDIG 8 agenda features 2 days, 11 organisational sessions' hosts, 1 keynote, 4 panel discussions, 2 workshops, 6 lightning talks, 1 business dating.

SEEDIG 8 agenda offers a diverse range of topics: from keynote on internet fragmentation to panel discussions on open source intelligence during the war, interplay between data protection and artificial intelligence, as well as the importance of content moderation and cooperation with big tech. During the interactive workshops participants will get hands-on experience on how companies deal with governmental requests for content take-down, and get practical tips about improving organisational cyber resiliency. SEEDIG 8 also pilots the first regional launches of the Freedom on the Net and IDN World 2023 reports.

On 6 November, SEEDIG will host a business dating networking event, where all participants will have a chance to briefly present their projects and initiatives and find opportunities for synergies with stakeholders from across the SEE region.
