Digital Rights in the Asia-Pacific 2024 (DRAPAC24) aims to foster resilience and solidarity within the digital rights community through a two-day gathering to be held in Taipei, Taiwan on August 18-19, 2024, before the Asia Pacific Regional Internet Governance Forum (APrIGF) on August 20-23. Through the gathering, we aim to stimulate collective brainstorming and forge alliances in response to the evolving digital threats for a unified response to shared challenges in the region.
Similar to its previous edition, DRAPAC24 will foster an environment of co-creation, accessibility, diversity, and inclusion. The event will host a diverse and inclusive group of over 100 speakers and attendees with different levels of experience and a wide range of expertise: from civil society representatives and human rights defenders across the Asia-Pacific, particularly in South Asia and Southeast Asia, to journalists, in-exile activists, academics, technologists, researchers, and more.
DRAPAC24 will feature a more focused but diverse mix of plenaries, workshops, talks, and other activities centering on three broad themes: regional solution-making, empowerment of young persons, and adoption of open technology. These themes complement APrIGF’s overarching theme of evolving ecosystems and enduring principles in the internet governance space.
