Application Deadline: April 30,2024
Stakeholders are invited to apply to organize different types of sessions at IGF 2024.
IGF 2024 will be organized in a hybrid format and welcome participants at the physical venue in Riyadh, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as well as online. The goal is for all participants, whether onsite or online, to engage in an equally meaningful way in IGF sessions. Workshop and session organizers are expected to consider elements of interactivity and accommodate the hybrid format in their proposals. For workshop proposals competitively evaluated by the MAG, these elements of hybrid interactivity will be a factor in a proposal’s overall rating.
IGF Subthemes
The IGF 2024 programme will be organized according to the following four subthemes:
- Harnessing innovation and balancing risks in the digital space
- Enhancing the digital contribution to peace, development, and sustainability
- Advancing human rights and inclusion in the digital age
- Improving digital governance for the Internet We Want
The subthemes above were decided on during the IGF 2024 First Open Consultations and MAG Meeting, after reviewing inputs from the IGF 2024 thematic and stocktaking calls. The IGF‘s thematic inputs and stocktaking processes are open to everyone. They form the basis of the MAG‘s discussions and ensure programme topics are those deemed most critical and timely to Internet governance stakeholders and societies at large.Â
