Let’s discuss how we can build new alternatives for a more democratic future internet at an evening event on the 21st March 2018.
Reimagining the Internet, the first event in a series of discussions on how European citizens can retake control over the future of the internet, will take place in London on Wednesday 21st March. Registration will open at 17:30 with the event starting promptly at 18:00. The event finishes at 19:30 and will be followed by networking drinks until 20:00.
The aim of this event is to discuss the existing internet dynamics and the alternatives that would enable citizens to build a more human-centric, accountable and inclusive internet. Questions such as “Could Europe build the kind of alternatives that would put citizens back in the driver’s seat?” and “What would it mean to build a human-centric internet?” will be addressed.
This event brings together policymakers, civil society leaders, innovators, activists and everyone else involved with shaping and thinking about the future of the internet.
