The 10th edition of the Estoril Conferences features two prominent international figures. Yulia Navalnaya, economist and widow of Alexei Navalny, is present as the current leader of the Russian opposition. Her participation comes at a moment of great political relevance, given her prominent role in challenging the Russian regime following her husband's death.

The other renowned speaker is Shirin Ebadi, Iranian lawyer and Nobel Peace Prize laureate. Ebadi is also the founder of the Defenders of Human Rights Centre, an organization dedicated to defending human rights in Iran. Her presence reinforces the Estoril Conferences' commitment to themes of freedom and fundamental rights.

The event, reaching its 10th edition, continues to position itself as a discussion forum on geopolitical issues and human rights globally. The combination of these two figures reflects the diversity of struggles for freedom represented at the conferences.
