Join us at the OrgSec Village! This event is set to be a satellite gathering of the Team CommUNITY’s Global Gathering, which is scheduled for September 27-29, 2024. The main event will take place in the afternoons, while the OrgSec Village will run from September 26-29. Notably, September 26 will be a full day, with half-day schedules for September 27-29. The event will be held in Estoril, Portugal.

The OrgSec Village will cover a range of topics including building sustainability in security adoption, advanced threats, assessing the security of civil society actors, and utilizing various tools and resources to enhance digital security, among others.

Our goal for this event is to foster a sense of community within the IF network. We aim to bring together civil society and tech companies for meaningful discussions on digital security. This will complement the sessions scheduled during the main tracks of the Team CommUNITY’s Global Gathering. We look forward to your participation!
