Apply to Join the 2025 Global Gathering
All are welcome to apply to attend the Global Gathering (GG) which brings together diverse individuals from 144+ countries for three days of collaboration, education, and networking. The event focuses on issues related to digital rights, online security for civil society, and other challenges at the intersection of human rights and technology.
The idyllic outdoor venue in Estoril, Portugal provides participants with the space to rejuvenate, and the event’s celebrated safety and security measures allow for authentic trust-building across regions and disciplines.
Please note that in response to current funding freezes, this year we are changing the format to provide organizations and networks with more space to host their own public and private events. If you are interested in learning more, please email [email protected].
Application Process
- After you submit your application, it will go through a vetting process in order to move forward to Step 2. Please give us two to three weeks to review your application.
- If your application is approved, you will receive an email notification and information on how to pay for your ticket or how to claim a free ticket.
- Once payment has been received (or your request for a free ticket has been approved), you will receive a ticket, and your attendance will be fully confirmed.
IMPORTANT: Only individuals who have a ticket will be able to enter the Global Gathering, so we encourage those interested to apply as soon as possible.
