Free Society Conference and Nordic Summit
http://fscons.org/

FSCONS is the Nordic countries' largest gathering for free culture,
free software and a free society. The conference is organised yearly
with 250-300 participants primarily from northern Europe. The main
organiser is the Society for Free Culture and Software.

The date for the next summit is 08.11-10.11 in Gothenburg.

FSCONS exists to provide a meeting place where subjects covering
society, culture and technology can be discussed and brought to life
in peer discussions, without being confined to each particular subject
area. It should provide both the physical and virtual space where
people, organisations and governments, with interest in the three
subject areas can meet in a participatory and constructive dialogue.
The unique combination of topics creates a platform where
cross-pollination between the areas can occur, and where new
co-operations and thoughts can emerge which allows the participants to
find new inspiration even from areas outside of their own.

Keynotes 2013: Karen Sandler and Smári McCarthy

About FFKP

Föreningen fri kultur & programvara (FFKP) is a non-profit
organisation based in Gothenburg. Since 2005 we've worked in support
of a modern democratic society through multi-stakeholder open
discussions around current issues in culture, technology and society.
The society works as a hub for operations in Sweden and the Nordic
countries. We work across borders, both geographically and
organizationally, in order to support the discussion between different
organisations and people. The society is supported in its projects by,
among others, the Nordic Culture Fund, Nordic Culture Point, Google,
Nokia, University of Gothenburg and the Swedish Post and
Telecommunications Board.

Our vision is a modern, open democratic society where policies and
decisions are made on the basis of the knowledge and opinions from
multiple stakeholders. We believe that our future society must be
built with the consideration of multiple stakeholders, and that
suppressing, ignoring, or otherwise preventing or discouraging
opinions of some stakeholders is not consistent with a democratic
society.
