ABC No Rio, Autonomedia, FREE.THE.MEDIA!, InterActivist Network, Openflows Networks Ltd and TAO invite you to attend a conference addressing issues related to media autonomy and self-determination.

Discuss & Deploy will explore the convergence of technology, activism and culture, examining what this digital convergence means in terms of public access and the rights of noncommercial networks to exist in the corporate-owned digital world.

The conference will include panel presentations, workshops, and conversations/dialogues on topics including open source software, models of autonomous networks, security culture and more.

Registration is $10--$30 US (sliding scale). Registered conference attendees receive complimentary breakfast Saturday and Sunday mornings; free admission to the Bindlestiff Family Cirkus Saturday evening; and $1 off all beer and drinks at the Lotus Club.

All panels, discussions and workshops will take place in locations on the Lower East Side of Manhattan, New York. All venues are within walking distance of each other.
