“Hi Everyone! This is Maggie, the Director of Community at TSPA, coming to you about our second annual EMEA Summit taking place on May 17th in Dublin, Ireland.
The EMEA Summit Request for Proposals (CFP) is open until March 8, and we would love your proporsals!
This year’s summit theme is, “The Power of Collaboration,” which is why I’m specifically reaching out to this community for submissions. For this theme, we will be prioritizing proposals that take into consideration how the Trust & Safety community can come together in order to tackle the ever-evolving threats we face online.
We are accepting all types of proposals geared toward an EMEA audience, but are especially looking for topics critical in MEA, platforms outside of social media, and topics that consider the future of T&S.
Many people have asked whether it’s appropriate to submit proposals to both TrustCon and the EMEA Summit, or to submit to the EMEA Summit instead of TrustCon. The answer is yes!More Information about proposals https://bit.ly/emea24; If you have questions about the EMEA Summit, please contact us at summits@tspa.org.” -Maggie Kerr
