We are organizing a Secure Messaging Summit, a place where people from different places (academia, industry, open source implementations, and legal/political perspectives) talk about the latest problems and advancements on the secure messaging sphere. This is an online event but you need to register. More details over here:
https://claucece.github.io/Secure-Messaging-Summit/It will run for two days: the 3rd and 4th of September, 2020, centered around times convenient to the morning in the Americas, the afternoon in Europe and Africa, and the evening in Western Asia.
On the first day, we have a set of speakers:
