Geneva Internet Conference - Internet Governance at a Crossroads

 

The Geneva Internet Conference (GIC) will address critical issues, gaps, and future developments in Internet governance (IG) and digital politics. The conference will provide a neutral and inclusive space for debates as it paves the way to 2015, building on the main events and developments in 2014, including announcement of the transition of the IANA oversight of Internet functions, NETmundial and the Internet Governance Forum. 

 

The conference will make use of the comparative advantages of Geneva as a global hub for IG with the presence of relevant IG-related institutions and organisations, diplomatic missions, civil society, the private sector, think-tanks, and academia.

 

[Update] Throughout the conference we will be using Twitter to report on the events and discussion live. Make sure to follow #IGeneva and #theGIP as well as @GenevaGIP to get the full picture.
