The CIGF is the longest running Internet Governance Forum in the world. \nThis year the 20th CIGF will return to Guyana\, where it was launched in 2005. It will be staged in-person but with remote participation via online videoconferencing under the auspices of the CTU and the Government of Guyana. In addition to reviewing achievements over the years\, the Forum will address various facets of Internet Governance of current import to the Caribbean including UN initiatives to adopt a Global Digital Compact in September 2024 and undertake a 20-year review of WSIS-initiated activities in 2025 (WSIS+20 Review); enhancing the reach\, resiliency and sustainability of critical digital infrastructure in the Caribbean; fostering adoption and growth of our digital economies in a trusted and secure manner; and harnessing the benefits of emergent technologies (e.g. AI) while minimising attendant risks. The 3rd Caribbean Youth Internet Governance Forum (3rd CYIGF) will also be hosted during the time of the 20th CIGF. \n\nConsider Internet governance policies and initiatives for priority attention and regional consensus to facilitate accelerated digital transformation in the Caribbean\nElicit the voices and develop the capacity of Caribbean youth in Internet governance by facilitating the 3rd Caribbean Youth Internet Governance Forum\nBuild national and regional capacity and systems in IG to enable\, support\, strengthen and sustain socio-economic development and effective Caribbean participation and representation at regional and global Internet Governance fora\n\nTarget Audience\n\nAcademia\nCivil society\nGovernment policy makers and IT Managers\nInternet users\nInternet service providers and Telecommunications operators\nInternational organisations\nICT Regulators\n\nMore info \nREGISTER
