OS Lab — Online Safety Partner
Events

Conversations that move digital safety forward.

OS Lab convenes events that bring together people working across technology, policy, regulation, education, consumer protection, Trust & Safety and community implementation. Our events create space for evidence, practical experience and different perspectives to shape stronger responses to emerging digital challenges.

Why we convene

No single sector sees the whole problem.

Digital harms move across platforms, institutions, communities and jurisdictions. Effective responses require collaboration between people who may not ordinarily work in the same room.

OS Lab events are designed to connect policy with practice, technology with human impact and global developments with African realities.

Complex digital challenges require informed, connected conversations.

Conferences & summits

Bringing the ecosystem together.

Our larger convenings examine cross-cutting digital issues that require strategic dialogue, specialist insight and collaboration across sectors.

Themes may include online safety, Trust & Safety, marketplace risk, platform accountability, consumer protection, online gender-based violence, AI governance and children's digital rights.

Webinars & Dialogues

Focused conversations on emerging issues. OS Lab webinars and dialogues provide accessible spaces for expert discussion, practical guidance and public learning. Sessions are designed to make complex topics understandable without oversimplifying the risks or responsibilities involved.

Masterclasses & Specialist Sessions

Deeper learning for practitioners and decision-makers. Masterclasses provide focused engagement with a specialist topic, framework or operational challenge — developed for Trust & Safety practitioners, regulators, educators, consumer-protection professionals, workplace leaders or institutional teams.
Past events & knowledge archive

The conversation should remain useful after the event ends.

Our event archive captures key themes, insights, resources and recordings where available. Each event page should include a concise summary, speakers, key takeaways, photographs, downloadable resources and related research.Explore Past Events
