NoteThe source confirms all key numerical claims: 5,689 total participants, 3,249 in-person (explicitly noted as a record), 543 sessions, and 154 countries represented. The source also confirms RightsCon is Access Now's program and describes it as a summit series on human rights in the digital age. The source mentions planning for 2026 with focus on Africa but does not explicitly state the location as Lusaka, Zambia—this specific location detail is not addressed in the provided excerpt, making that portion unverifiable from this source. However, the core numerical data and program description are all confirmed.

NoteThe source confirms the participant numbers (5,689 total, 3,249 in-person as a record), session count (543), and country representation (154 countries) for RightsCon 2025 in Taipei. However, the source excerpt does not address the claim about the next edition being in May 2026 in Lusaka, Zambia. The claim also correctly identifies RightsCon as Access Now's program and describes it as the world's leading conference on human rights in the digital age, which aligns with the source's framing. The temporal marker 'as of 2025-02' is appropriate for RightsCon 2025 (February 24-27). The only unverified element is the location and date of the next edition, which is not mentioned in the provided excerpt.
