EPIC Champions of Freedom 2025

The EPIC Champions of Freedom 2025 will be held on Monday, September 15, from 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM at the True Reformer Building in Washington, D.C.

EPIC established the Champions of Freedom Awards in 2004 to honor individuals and organizations that have worked to safeguard the right to privacy, open government, and democratic values with courage and integrity.

This year will be a bit different. Instead of giving out awards, we will bring together featured speakers to offer insights and strategies about how we can work together to combat digital authoritarianism. After the presentation from our featured speakers, we will continue the conversation over refreshments at the reception.

The speakers will also be live-streamed for registrants who cannot attend in person.

Dress is business/cocktail attire.

This event is designed as a widely attended event under Congressional ethics rules. Expected attendance is approximately 200-225 people, including from advocates, government officials, Hill and agency staff, and academics. The fair market value of each ticket is $25.
