proposals for this year's conference, which will take place on June
14-16, 2011. The theme for the 2011 conference is "The Future is
Now."
Past CFPs have explored what computing technology means for freedom
and privacy, including its usefulness as a surveillance tool and its
potential ubiquity. This year's call for proposals will focus on the
present state of technology and its impact on human rights struggles
around the world.
The call for proposals seeks contributions for this year's agenda. The
meeting will involve technologists, privacy policy experts, and
policymakers in discussions about the information society and the
future of technology, innovation, and freedom.
