RightsCon Toronto 2018, described as "the world’s leading event on human rights in the digital age" brings together business leaders, policy makers, general counsels, government representatives, technologists, and human rights defenders from around the world to tackle some of the most pressing issues at the intersection of human rights and digital technology.
