[Information taken from their website. Conference is to be held June 8-10 at the Airlie Center in Warrenton, Virginia. -G]
About: This year's conference will be co-chaired by Nuala O'Connor and Amie Stepanovich and will feature the theme, "The Internet Wants to be Free." The Conference will be preceded by an Advocates' Meeting during the day on Sunday, June 8 (for non-profit participants only, please), and will officially "kick off" with an opening keynote on Sunday evening. Participants will also be given an option to add an additional night at the Airlie Center to enjoy its recreational amenities for a special, reduced price. Registration for the conference will begin in February 2014, and will include cost of lodging and meals for all who wish to stay at Airlie (alternate options will be available for those who prefer to stay off-site). The official Call for Proposals is also now open, and anyone may submit an idea for a solo presentation, debate, roundtable discussion, workshop, or panel. We're also encouraging "birds of a feather" submissions, social events meant to encourage organization and collaboration. Separately, the conference will feature several social events in which all registrants will be encouraged to participate. We look forward to seeing you in June! A Special Note from the Co-Chairs /We hope you'll join us for an intense and unique event, featuring voices from civil society, academia, government, and the private sector. We believe that the (slightly) remote location will give us all time to get away, connect with each other, reflect on the events of the past 12 months, and strategize for the coming year./ http://www.cfp.org/2014/wiki/index.php/Main_Page Call for Proposals Computers, Freedom, and Privacy is an annual conference that brings together academics, activists, technologists, policy advocates, practitioners, and lawmakers. The CFP co-chairs invite proposals for this year's conference. We encourage multi-stakeholder participation in the conference as speakers, proposal submitters, and attendees that represent the diverse global community of organizations and professionals who work on policy, technology and law. CFP will focus on providing solutions to important and emerging questions in law, privacy, and technology. The best proposals will explain how the session will address and advance the global conversation on digital human rights and individual privacy. Proposals must provide a concrete description of what the session hopes to accomplish. CFP proposals may cover a variety of topics. However, the conference will try to address the following questions: * What are the challenges to individual rights and liberties posed by new technologies? * What technologies, policies, practices, and laws can best protect human rights in the modern world? * What is the proper role for civil society and the proper venue or legal strategy to advance this dialogue? * What does it mean to have a "free" Internet, from both a commercial and government perspective?
