Every other year, Access brings RightsCon outside of the Silicon Valley. This year, Manila plays host to the summit with a goal to produce measurable outcomes by convening the most influential voices across stakeholder lines on topical and current issues on the protection and future of the internet.
Mozilla is one of the sponsors of RightsCon Southeast Asia Manila 2015.
This edition of RightsCon Southeast Asia was attended by more than 600 delegates from over 50 countries (tickets were sold out), all of whom are committed to extending the digital rights of users around the world, and fighting for the open internet. Most of the Mozilla Reps based in the Philippines attended the conference.
Mozilla’s Head of Public Policy Chris Riley and Internet Policy Manager Jochai Ben-Avie were in town as speakers and resource persons for the conference.
The local delegation learned a lot from RightsCon, especially on activities to engage event attendees and ways to learn while having fun.
