Workshops & Side-Activities at LibertyCon

This year’s edition of LibertyCon will include not just lectures and panel discussions, but also a range of workshops and side programming. You can find the overview of this year’s activities on this page.

Bear in mind that you need to register for LibertyCon to gain access to any of the following workshops.

Workshop: Fighting Bureaucracy in the Age of DOGE – How to Cut Red Tape and Win Hearts

When: April 27, 10:30 – 12:00

Where: Karel Engliš Room, Gabriel Loci

Capacity: 30 participants

Reducing bureaucracy has long been a core priority for free market advocates. With the rise of DOGE and the “chainsaw” campaign, the issue of excessive red tape has gained unprecedented public attention—though not without controversy.

In 2024, several European think tanks from the 4liberty.eu network contributed to the international Bureaucracy Index, bringing together their deep experience in identifying harmful administrative burdens and pushing for real reform.

Now, they invite you to join a hands-on 90-minute workshop focused on how to effectively advocate for anti-bureaucratic policies—toward governments, the media, and the public. With guidance from experienced mentors, you’ll work in teams to design your own strategic communication campaign that explains why cutting red tape matters and how to get others on board.

Spaces are limited—join us to sharpen your message and help make bureaucracy a thing of the past. Participants will receive a free lunch voucher to enjoy in between the workshop and the start of the main program!

Workshop: Bitcoin Adoption

When: April 27, 15:00 – 16:00

Where: Karel Engliš Room, Gabriel Loci

Capacity: 30 participants

Learn in a very practical way how to use Bitcoin both in your everyday life and in either your own activism, or in supporting freedom fighters around the world.

The workshop will be led by Anna Chekhovich. Anna is a Russian dissident from the Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation. She will explain the basics of how Bitcoin works, how to download a wallet, and how to send transactions, but also share how ACF uses Bitcoin to continue operating, and how the Human Rights Foundation and their Financial Freedom project help activists worldwide continue their efforts when standard means of payment are unavailable to them.

Workshop: Civil Resistance and Non-Violent Activism

When: April 27, 14:00 – 15:00

Where: Karel Engliš Room, Gabriel Loci

Capacity: 20 participants

How can small grassroots movements affect change? How to use non-violent methods to promote your cause? Friends of liberty in Georgia had to learn all these things in countering the spread of authoritarianism in their country. This LibertyCon, we will be joined by Dachi Imedadze and Ana Tavadze from the Georgian Shame Movement, one of the moving forces behind the initial rejection of the repressive foreign agents law, who will discuss with us just these topics!

Film Screening: Mr. Nobody Against Putin (2025)

When: April 27, 17:30 – 18:30

Where: Karel Engliš Room, Gabriel Loci

At LibertyCon, you will have the chance to see the Mr. Nobody Against Putin documentary. A Russian teacher secretly documents his small town school’s transformation into a war recruitment center during the Ukraine invasion, revealing the ethical dilemmas educators face amid propaganda and militarization.

Bitcoin Film Fest

When: April 27, 18:00 – 18:45

Where: Karel Engliš Room, Gabriel Loci

Bitcoin Film Fest is a project founded by Tomek Kołodziejczuk, alumnus and founder of Students For Liberty in Poland, annually bringing together filmmakers and activists focused on Bitcoin and the topic of sound money to Warsaw.

At this year’s LibertyCon, you will get a chance to get a glimpse at what the Bitcoin Film Fest is all about, through several short extracts projected at the end of our Sunday programming.
