Journalists, policymakers, creators, business leaders and organisations interested in the future of digital public discourse are invited to be part of the next phase of W, a new European social media platform built around trust, transparency and verified human interaction.
W, first introduced during the World Economic Forum in Davos earlier this year, will unveil its Public Beta version in Brussels, from the heart of the European Union.
At a time when bots, fake accounts, AI-generated manipulation and coordinated disinformation are reshaping public debate online, W aims to offer a new approach to digital public discourse. The platform combines free expression, accountability, privacy and human verification. It is hosted on European infrastructure and governed under European privacy laws considered among the strongest in the world.
The launch will take place at the Brussels Press Club Europe, Rue Froissart 95, 1040 Brussels, from 16:00 to 17:30, followed by drinks, snacks and networking.
Digital participation will also be available. Please choose how you would like to participate when you RSVP.
