    Description

    In today's digital world, where information flows freely across borders, ensuring its accuracy and integrity is paramount. This panel discussion tackles this critical issue, recognizing information integrity as the foundation for trust and a thriving digital economy.

    Our esteemed panelists, representing media, technology, and policy-makers, will delve into the challenges posed by misinformation, disinformation, and deepfakes. We'll explore the need for interoperable transparency and safety measures across platforms, along with accessible redressal mechanisms for all users.

    Join us for a stimulating conversation on fostering a trustworthy digital environment. We'll discuss potential solutions, including co-regulation mechanisms such as social media councils, and explore how these can be informed by existing initiatives like the proposed code of conduct for information integrity.


    To ensure seamless interaction, we'll utilize a central platform like Zoom with screen sharing for presentations and a designated Q&A queue for both online and onsite participants. Polls and breakout rooms in the platform will encourage real-time participation, regardless of location.
    Collaborative document platform: Utilize a platform like Google Docs or Padlet to create a shared document where all participants (online and onsite) can contribute notes, ideas, and action steps throughout the workshop.
    Social media engagement: Encourage participants to use a designated event hashtag on social media platforms to share questions, insights, and key takeaways during the workshop.
    Pre-workshop communication: Provide clear instructions to both online and onsite participants regarding the platform, session layout, and engagement methods to ensure everyone is prepared.
