Here is a tailored invitation for Francesca Bria that positions her as a keynote catalyst and strategic contributor to MOBILIZED: CONVERGENCE.
Dear Francesca,
I hope this finds you well.
I am writing to invite you to participate in MOBILIZED: CONVERGENCE, a new global media-and-action experience from Mobilized News designed to bring together the people, ideas, tools, and public-interest solutions needed to redesign systems for life.
The purpose of CONVERGENCE is simple but urgent:
How do we move from systems that extract, divide, confuse, and control — to systems that inform, connect, restore, and empower?
Your work on digital sovereignty, democratic digital infrastructure, data rights, open systems, and cities as platforms for public value speaks directly to the heart of this initiative.
CONVERGENCE is not being designed as a traditional technology conference or vendor expo. It is being created as a living media commons and working assembly: part public-interest technology forum, part solutions showcase, part live newsroom, part collaboration network, and part global action lab.
Our operating framework is:
Signals → Stories → Solutions → Events → Collaboration → Action
We would be honored to invite you to participate as a Keynote Catalyst and strategic voice for one of the central themes of the event:
Digital Sovereignty as Public Infrastructure
Some of the questions we hope to explore include:
- How can communities move from digital dependency to digital self-determination?
- What does democratic control of digital infrastructure look like in practice?
- How can cities, regions, and public institutions reduce dependency on extractive technology platforms?
- What can Europe’s digital sovereignty movement teach communities around the world?
- How can data be governed as a commons rather than treated as a resource to be extracted?
- What should public-interest digital infrastructure look like for the next decade?
Your perspective would help frame the conversation beyond technology adoption and toward a deeper systems question: Who owns, governs, benefits from, and is accountable for the digital systems society now depends on?
We are inviting a founding circle of leaders across open-source infrastructure, digital democracy, ethical AI, public digital goods, cybersecurity, regenerative economics, independent media, and community resilience.
The goal is not only to host conversations, but to produce practical outcomes, including:
- A Community Digital Sovereignty Toolkit
- A Public Digital Infrastructure Action Guide
- A Solutions Map of replicable tools and models
- Live and recorded interviews for global distribution
- Practical pathways for cities, schools, nonprofits, civic organizations, and communities to adopt open, accountable, interoperable digital systems
Mobilized News was founded on the belief that a well-informed public is the most powerful and valuable natural resource of all. With CONVERGENCE, we are creating a platform where knowledge does not remain isolated, but becomes shared capability.
We would be grateful to explore your participation in one or more of the following ways:
- Opening keynote or featured conversation
- Digital sovereignty systems lab
- Interview for Mobilized News
- Strategic advisory conversation
- Contributor to the Community Digital Sovereignty Toolkit
- Partner introduction to aligned European and global initiatives
We believe your voice would be essential in helping participants understand that digital sovereignty is not only a policy issue. It is a question of democracy, public value, institutional capacity, community resilience, and the future of self-determination.
Thank you for considering this invitation. We would be honored to speak with you or your team and explore how MOBILIZED: CONVERGENCE can amplify and support the work you are already helping lead.
With appreciation and respect,
Steven Jay
Co-Founder and Executive Producer
