INHOPE is returning its successful webinar series "Expert Insights" in 2024 for another season filled with deep-dive webinars covering a range of topics within the realm of online child protection. Each webinar is specifically designed to provide unique insights and provide the audience with educational content presented by an expert from the field.

Funded by the European Commission, these webinars are non-commercial to educate the audience, creating an open environment for discussions and fostering relationships between the different stakeholders.

Throughout last season, we conducted a total of six webinars, drawing in over 660 registered attendees who actively engaged in discussions, posed insightful questions, and facilitated dialogues with our esteemed speakers.

This year, the Expert Insights series will run from February to June 2024, with each session exploring nuances of digital safety and emerging trends within the sector. The webinars will cover relevant themes in the field, such as empowerment through digital literacy, AI-generated CSAM and user safety in the gaming world.
