Access Now — program: RightsCon summit series — world's leading conference on human rights in the digital age. 2025 Taipei edition drew 5,689 participants (3,249 in-person, record) from 154 countries across 543 sessions. Next edition: May 2026 in Lusaka, Zambia.

Note: The provided source text is from the RC25 Outcomes Report but only includes introductory/community reflection sections. While it confirms RightsCon exists and that a 2025 edition occurred, it does not contain the specific quantitative claims (5,689 participants, 3,249 in-person, 154 countries, 543 sessions) or the forward-looking claim about the May 2026 Lusaka edition. These data points may exist elsewhere in the full outcomes report, but they are not present in the excerpt provided. The source is relevant but incomplete for verification purposes.

Note: The 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.
