Together we will examine the role of philanthropy in the digital revolution, in mediating society’s relationship with our increasingly digital world and in helping civil society navigate its threats and opportunities. We will discuss, debate and imagine a new future in which values and rights are at the centre of the digital revolution.
 
This is the beginning of a new conversation about how to have a healthy digital society, and what the role of philanthropy is within this.

Keynote speaker: Zeynep Tufekci, academic and writer who focuses on big social challenges that defy disciplinary boundaries and simple answers.
