We are happy to confirm a keynote by the “Stop Data Centers Belgium” campaign at Freedom Not Fear 2026! We are excited and look forward to it!
Every year a organising team prepares the venue and a programme stucture. But from there all participants become co-creators of Freedom Not Fear (FNF). FNF is a self-organised conference, a barcamp or if you will an “un-conference”. That means participants suggest sessions and schedule the programme together during morning plenaries. Some of you have already indicated sessions you plan to convene, so that we can offer a preview. You can already take a look at these as inspiration to bring your own topics and session ideas to #FNF26!
