The Trust & Safety Festival and Centre for Social Research India are pleased to announce an upcoming online Stakeholder Engagement Roundtable to begin preparations for TASI 2026.
Bringing together key partners and participants from TASI 2025, this roundtable will serve as an important starting point in shaping the vision, priorities, and direction of the next edition. As we look ahead, TASI 2026 will centre its conversations around people, guided by the theme and tagline: “People First. Safety Always.”
The roundtable is being planned as a space for reflection, consultation, and collaboration. It will help ensure that the programme for 2026 is informed by the expertise and insights of the trust and safety community, while also strengthening stakeholder ownership in the journey ahead. It will further reinforce TASI’s commitment to being a platform rooted in India with a global outlook and ambition.
A key focus of the discussion will also be on building stronger pathways for participation from the Global South, including exploring the support needed to make representation broader and more meaningful in the coming year.
The meeting is expected to be held online for no more than one hour, either between 7 and 11 April 2026 or after 20 April 2026. The proposed agenda includes an introduction by the Trust & Safety Festival and Centre for Social Research India, followed by discussions on key themes for TASI 2026, preferred session formats, stakeholder representation across sectors, and the timeline for sponsorship and session submissions.
As preparations begin, this roundtable marks the first step towards building a more inclusive, engaged, and forward-looking TASI 2026.
