World Press Freedom Day 2026 Global conference “Shaping a Future at Peace” will be held on 4-5 May in Lusaka, Zambia. The conference will offer a critical moment to reaffirm freedom of expression both as a normative and empirical lever for shaping the future of information societies. It will be co-hosted with the Government of Zambia and organized back-to-back with RightsCon 2026.
The event will bring together press freedom advocates and digital rights communities at a time when the boundaries between journalism, technology, civic space, and human rights are increasingly intertwined.
