Vote for CDT for SXSW

/ Brian Wesolowski

We want to take CDT’s ideas to SXSW. We’ve proposed four amazing sessions for SXSW Interactive 2015, and your vote will help them become part of the can’t-miss event for the tech community. sxsw

Our sessions tackle the tough issues around privacy and free expression online, with a focus on mobile apps, social norms, defining the digital self, and the “right to be forgotten.”

Check out each proposal below and be sure to give them the thumbs up. Also, share them on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn. The more votes and social shares we receive, the more likely we can bring CDT’s voice to the 30,000+ creative minds at SXSW. The deadline for voting is September 6, 2014.

Hope to see you in Austin!
