In celebration of International Right to Know Day, PACC presents Sunshine Summits to raise awareness and generate discussion about access rights, responsibilities, and practices.
Sunshine Summits are your opportunity to learn about recent developments that affect your right to gain access to information. Meet the presenters from academia, government and industry. Ask questions and get unscripted answers. And network with peers, experts and colleagues.
Registered guests may submit relevant questions to guest speakers ahead of time, for the speakers to address during the Sunshine Summit.
