Point to Point Camp, a one day unconference, will bring together technologists, journalists, and lawyers — plus academics who think about those topics — to advance the interests of privacy, transparency, and democracy in the 21st Century.
As an unconference, most of the day’s programming will be created by the conference attendees. Sessions can be skillshares, panel talks, trainings, presentations, or something else entirely.
What do lawyers, journalists, and technologists have to talk about?
- how to design systems to avoid man-in-the-middle attacks
- 101s on data privacy law for journalists and technologists
- seeing latent power dynamics inherent in laws and technologies
- the best tools to increase your digital privacy
- how to combine our efforts to maximize government transparency
- how to code for inclusion and social justice
- you tell us …
The event will provide ample time for hallway and barstool relationship building among experts in fields that are increasingly reliant on one another.
