Bread&Net 2025: Call for Proposals Now Open!

Bread&Net is the region’s leading annual unconference on digital rights. We convene each year to map ongoing and new threats to online freedoms, strategize collective action, and bring the community together. Across three days, attendees will meet to strategize around the possibilities and challenges posed by the expansion of technology in the Arabic-speaking world. This gathering will serve as a crucial space for initiating critical dialogues and forging strong alliances towards a safe, free and open internet in West Asia and North Africa.

Bread&Net is a meeting ground for people rethinking power, technology, and freedom in our region. We meet to confront the political and social impacts of digital technologies—from surveillance and censorship to disinformation and access. The unconference is open for everyone to attend and share their knowledge and visions for the future, setting the groundwork for transformative action and collaboration. Our gathering is born out of urgency, care, and a commitment to defending digital rights as inseparable from all struggles for justice in the region.
