Confluence: A Cross-Sector Dialogue on Digital Resilience, Privacy, Intellectual Property, and Child Online Protection

​As our work and communities become increasingly digital, professionals across different sectors are facing many of the same challenges: from misinformation and privacy concerns to intellectual property, AI, and protecting children online.

​Confluence brings together educators, creatives, journalists, bloggers, and members of the Tech & Society community for an interactive dialogue on building safer, more resilient, and more responsible digital ecosystems.

​Rather than a traditional conference, Confluence is designed as a participatory conversation where attendees can learn from one another, exchange practical experiences, and explore collaborative solutions.

​During this event, participants will:

• ​Explore the digital challenges affecting different professional communities.

• ​Learn practical approaches to digital resilience and privacy.

• ​Discuss intellectual property in an AI-enabled world.

• ​Examine the role of safeguarding, duty of care, and child online protection.

• ​Connect with professionals from education, media, the creative economy, and civil society.

​Whether you work in education, media, the creative industries, or technology, this dialogue offers an opportunity to build meaningful connections and leave with practical insights you can apply in your work.
