Join us in Berlin on December 9-11, as we partner with the German Council on Foreign Relations to bring together a global network of innovators ready to challenge the increasing fragmentation of our digital society. We invite participants from around the world to contribute their knowledge, experience and skill to counter the growing trend of digital isolation, where national boundaries and corporate platforms restrict open communication.

Our thematic focus is on decentralized protocols and technologies, wireless connectivity solutions and innovative approaches to bypassing censorship systems.

For many vulnerable Internet users, the Tor network is the only way to gain access to encrypted services. It's made possible by relay operators, the thousands of volunteers who donate their time, technical expertise, and hardware. Join us for a roundtable discussion with individual and institutional relay operators to learn more about the ins and outs of powering a safer, more equitable internet.

We invite you to get to know some of Tor’s dedicated volunteer relay operators. For a deeper look at the motivations and challenges of this community, we will speak with two researchers, Ana Custura and Victoria Neumann, who will share findings from their recent study on the Relay Operator Community Health. Then, we’ll hear directly from a group of individual and institutional relay operators to learn more about the ins and outs of powering a safer, more equitable internet.
