Global Encryption Day (GED) is an annual event organized by the Global Encryption Coalition (GEC), designed to raise awareness about the importance of encryption in protecting privacy and securing digital communications. It brings together various stakeholders, including civil society organizations, technology companies, and individuals, to advocate for strong encryption policies and practices.
The San Francisco Bay professional society chapters of the Internet Society and Association for Computing Machinery have partnered to put on the local 2024 GED event. This hybrid event will include a full day educational track (with certificate of completion) and evening of thought-leadership panel and presentations.
