2nd Voices of Users Conference 2026

The second practitioner exchange for Article 86 organizations and for Trusted Flaggers under the Digital Services Act.

Thursday, 24 September 2026 · 11:00–12:30 CEST · Online

Following our first Voices of Users Conference in June, this online follow-up exchange will bring together Article 86 organizations and Trusted Flaggers to continue the conversation on user-rights enforcement, platform accountability, and practical cooperation under the Digital Services Act.

Building on the questions and experiences raised during the first meeting, we will explore new challenges, share developments from our work, and identify where cooperation, knowledge-sharing, and mutual support could be useful.

Why continue the exchange?

The first Voices of Users Conference showed that organizations working under Article 86 and Trusted Flaggers often face similar practical challenges, including reporting workflows, platform responses, limited capacity, cross-border questions, and the need to identify effective approaches.

This second meeting will provide space to follow up on these questions, hear what has changed since the first exchange, identify new challenges, and discuss how organizations can support and cooperate with one another.
