The Trust & Safety India Festival (TASI) 2026 is now accepting proposals for sessions, panels, workshops, and lightning talks. This is your opportunity to help shape the agenda for India's foremost trust and safety convening — a platform that brings together practitioners, researchers, policymakers, and civil society voices from across the country and the world.
TASI 2026 is themed around 'People First. Safety Always.' — a commitment to centering human experience in every conversation about platform governance, AI, and online harms. We are looking for proposals that reflect this ethos: grounded in evidence, driven by lived experience, and oriented towards practical change.
We welcome submissions across a wide range of formats. Traditional panel discussions and keynote-style sessions are welcome, but we especially encourage interactive workshops, case study presentations, structured debates, and community roundtables that invite participation rather than passive listening.
Thematic areas of interest include — but are not limited to — child safety and protection online, gender-based violence in digital spaces, AI governance and algorithmic accountability, platform transparency and content moderation, legal and regulatory frameworks across South and Southeast Asia, hate speech and misinformation in multilingual contexts, and trust and safety workforce wellbeing.
Proposals from practitioners in the Global South are particularly encouraged. TASI 2026 is committed to broadening representation and ensuring that the voices most affected by online harms are also the ones shaping the conversation.
To submit a proposal, complete the form on our website before the deadline. Shortlisted applicants will be contacted for follow-up. Selected session leads will receive complimentary registration and may be eligible for travel support depending on their location and circumstances.
If you have questions about the call for proposals process, reach out to the TASI team via the contact page. We look forward to reading your submissions.
