Originally inspired by the "Computers, Freedom, and Privacy Conference", Electronic Frontiers Forums at DragonCon covers legal and societal issues and civil liberties, both online and anywhere technology is present. We examine the intersection of technology, law, activism, and society, and how they fit within the framework of a democratic society. We endeavor to bring together the best minds in law, technology, and advocacy to map out our shared future, while highlighting the risks and promises of technological progress.

Major themes for 2023 will include the advance of artificial intelligence, policing and technology solutionism, and continued threats to our security. Topics we plan to cover this year include civil forfeiture reform, the role of private police foundations, ChatGPT, accessibility in virtual worlds for persons with disabilities, killer robots for the police, ransomware attacks on small businesses, federation and social media, right to repair, and many others. Returning favorites will include Hacking 101 and 201, Webcomics, and Copyright 101.
