You are cordially invited to the panel Freedom, Technology, and Social Good organized by the Vodafone Foundation within the Forum 2000 Conference.

When: 14 October 2019, 18.00

Where: WeWork, Národní 14, Prague 1

The event will explore how technology can expand our freedom in many ways. Ever since the dawn of humanity, new inventions have been helping us achieve our goals faster and more efficiently. There is a reciprocal relationship between Technology and Freedom. Freedom and democracy have enabled technologies to reshape our societies, improving people’s standard of living, helping eliminate poverty, increasing civic participation, inclusion, and human rights. Technology and freedom - are we losing it? How can citizens and communities empower social engagement through technology? How has technology helped deprived communities and activists at risk?

Speakers:

Xiao Qiang (China Digital Times),

Jonathan Ledgard (Professor in AI, ČVUT),

Radka Bystřická (Nadace Via),

Adriana Dergam (Nadace Vodafone)

The panel will be in English and the entrance is for free.
