FOSI’s 2015 European Forum, taking place in Brussels on May 12th, will aim to explore the state of online safety across Europe. By convening a unique group of speakers, these discussions will cultivate an understanding of the top priority issues in Internet safety in Europe, unique to its respective regional issues, while maintaining the foundation of a global context.

Through facilitation of an open discussion between experts in industry, education and government, our developing line-up will provide an analysis of the past, present and future trends in technology, and how they will affect policy, the evolution of product and platform design, and the perception of content. Speakers will include representatives from Facebook, Twitter, Vodafone, GSM Association, the Center for Democracy and Technology, and Southwest Grid for Learning.
