Join the Free Software Foundation for EncryptFest!
About
A community meeting and information session hosted by the Free Software Foundation (FSF). FSF is excited to welcome you to EncryptFest, a global encryption and privacy-focused event! The FSF is a nonprofit with a worldwide mission to promote computer user freedom. This gratis event is divided into two parts. First, there will be a discussion on bulk surveillance, and how encryption protects personal privacy. The event will include a discussion featuring an expert on the topics, as well as a video from renowned cryptographer Bruce Schneier. Second, as a concrete step to enhance your data privacy, EncryptFest will include a hands-on workshop on how you can encrypt your email, and how to help others encrypt their email, using the FSF's Email Self-Defense guide (ESD). Registration is not required, but feel free to RSVP to EncryptFest 2026 here . To learn more about the Free Software Foundation, visit the FSF website .
