Dear friends,

As someone who has participated in RightsCon in the past, we wanted to provide you with the opportunity to help shape the agenda of the world's leading conference on the future of the internet. 

Due to popular demand, we've extended our program session submission deadline to Monday, December 14th. That means now is your time to act quickly and help shape the agenda at RightsCon Silicon Valley 2016. You can submit your program session or Demo Room proposal, and find our special ticket discount policy for session organizers and speakers, on our website.
