Held at Oslo Norway’s scenic Oslo Konserthus, the Oslo Freedom Forum brings together minds from around the world to further human freedoms. Running June 13 to the 15th, the Oslo Freedom Forum is a global conference series produced by the Human Rights Foundation (HRF) that brings together human rights advocates, journalists, artists, tech entrepreneurs, and world leaders to share their stories and brainstorm ways to expand freedom and unleash human potential across the globe. Originally the Freedom Forum began as a way to tell the stories of survivors of Nazi and Communist atrocities, but has since grown to encompass stories from around the world.

Special guests include New Yorker cartoonist Liza Donnelly, fashion designer Louise Xin, musician Manasseh Mathiang, and more. Panel discussions during the festival examine human trafficking, the women-led revolution happening in Iran, China’s use of AI, and the growing authoritarian regime from Russia and how it affects the world.

The theme of this year’s Freedom Forum is Celebrating Solidarity and honors the unity, mentorship, and community that HRF and our global community — from frontline dissidents to journalists, philanthropists, and technologists — have fostered in the last 15 years. While the event is being held in Oslo, Norway, all theater talks will be live streamed at oslofreedomforum.com and on their Twitter and YouTube pages so viewers abroad can hear incredible stories from human rights advocates.
