ORG are coming North this year!
<http://www.openrightsgroup.org/events/2013/org-con-north>We are bringing
an ORG flavoured digital rights conference to Manchester on Saturday April
13th.

The event is packed with exciting speakers, panel debates and workshops.

John Buckman, chairman of the board at Electronic Frontier Foundation and
founder of the record label Magantune is giving the keynote speech on
challenges that ORG will be facing in the coming year.

Key ORG issues, such as Section 127 and freedom of speech, the
Communications Data Bill, privacy and copyright will all be discussed by
experts, see our provisional programme for more details.
<http://www.openrightsgroup.org/events/2013/org-con-north>

We'll be running an “unconference track” with room for any attendees, panel
guests or ORG staff to give a talk or start a pop-up debate on something
you care about.

*Free tickets are available for ORG supporters who join before April 13th:
