We are thrilled to announce that the sixth INHOPE Summit, hosted by Meta, will take place on September 19-20. The theme of the hybrid event is "Partnering Product with Policy." Learn more about the event here.

Partnering Product with Policy

User empowerment is developed at the intersection of technology, human rights, and proactive platform safety enforcement. This year we will focus on how to unite online platform product and online platform safety policies in order to prioritise user safety and user rights.

As online platforms scale through the engagement and the acquisition of new users, they need to consider user-centric safety. As well as increasing user retention, safety is directly linked to the user’s experience, so why not use it as part of your core offering as a consumer driven platform?

The aim of the INHOPE Summit 2023 is to promote positive online experiences for all users by enabling and ensuring safety by design, exploring the cross-collaboration of product and policy teams, at the same time as highlighting the fundamental requirements to create safe online experience and generate implementation guidelines for online platforms.

Join us to discuss how you can enable your organisation to take ownership of the fact that user-safety is an essential part of the user's experience.

What we offer you

Attend this year's Summit to find out how you can build internal relationships and establish cross-departmental buy-in. Safety is part of a sustainable growth plan as it focusses on the user's experience, building communities and fostering a positive platform reputation.

We will provide you with a in-depth discussion into the value of strengthening the collaborative efforts between product and policy to establish the status of your online safety and how foundational changes can minimise the need for constant changes. In order to protect the rights of young people online and tackle child sexual abuse and exploitation on a global scale, we are seeking all relevant stakeholders to join these discussions.
