Conference 2010

On 16-18 April 2010, 70 representatives of Pirate Parties from 22 countries will meet in Brussels to form the umbrella organization Pirate Parties International (PPI), prepare a common declaration of principles for Pirate Parties and elect the first official board of the PPI. On Sunday 18 at 14:00 (local time) a press conference will be held to inform the public about the outcome of the discussions and give the newly elected board the opportunity to present the organization.

Dear Pirates,

The PPI conference will take place on 16-18th April 2010 in Brussels. Most of the information below is aimed at Pirate Party leaders, but some is relevant to all pirates.

We would like 2 delegates per nation to exercise voting power. For EU-based pirate party delegates we can provide free entrance; however due to the nature of the funding, delegates from non-EU-based parties will likely have to cover their expenses on their own budget. More details on the financing will be announced when we have more information (hopefully before the end of January).

As it is difficult to get a the space to host hundreds of pirates and we have limited financial resources there may have to be a limit on the number of guest pirates from each party.

In preparation for the conference, we are setting up two taskforces. If you are interested in helping out with either taskforce, please read the details below:
