About The Event

TSPA Regional Summits are one day conferences dedicated to trust and safety professionals who are responsible for the challenging work of keeping our platforms and communities safe. Unlike the global nature of TrustCon programming, summits are focused on regional priorities. Summits support TSPA’s vision to create and foster a global community of practice among trust and safety professionals by centering each region’s concerns, priorities, diversity, and culture.

EMEA Summit Theme

The theme for this year's summit is, 'EMEA Summit 2024: The Power of Collaboration.' This means submitters should incorporate collaboration in the foundation of their proposals. Examples may include panellists across industries or regions within a panel, focusing a round table on uniting different perspectives to adapt to change, or sharing research that empowers attendees to include new perspectives in their day-to-day work. These examples are included as inspiration, but submitters are encouraged to be creative with the theme.

The Programme Committee will prioritise three main subcategories within this theme, so please propose sessions that fit one of these three themes. As with the summit theme, the examples listed after each subcategory are meant to provide guidance; you are welcome to submit proposals similar to these examples or on any other topic as long as it’s connected to the theme. See more about submission types here.

• Future Proofing Trust & Safety. Sessions within this category should address the evolution of Trust & Safety and/or innovations that create sustainability within the field. Proposals within this category may tackle innovative solutions to address new technologies, preparing for and responding to crises, and adjusting to regulation. Proposals within this topic may also cover upskilling to address trust and safety in its future state.
   
• Trust & Safety in Middle East & Africa (MEA). Proposals for topics within this theme should focus on issues within trust and safety that are specific to MEA, and may be applied globally. This could include policy, regulation, cultural considerations, research, or ideas growing within MEA that may inspire global change or invite collaboration.
   

• Trust & Safety for All Digital Technologies. Sessions within this category are encouraged to address trust and safety issues faced by companies across a wide spectrum of digital platforms. While it encompasses social media, the primary focus is on other types of platforms. These include apps facilitating in-person connections, the sharing economy, online marketplaces, streaming services, gaming, and any additional technologies that require trust and safety teams.
