Roundtable
IGF 2024 Pre-event. The session will have two parts. The first part will be dedicated to learn about the advances and projects developed by different organizations in Latin America and the Caribbean. Subsequently, the second part will offer a workshop where researchers can disseminate the progress and objectives of their ongoing or recently completed research projects. Each part of the session will have time for questions and answers.
The IGF LAC Space, in its eighth edition, will continue to bring together a wide range of organizations, stakeholders and researchers from Latin America and the Caribbean in order to learn about the progress and achievements of recent years, as well as the projects and challenges of the time to come. Participants will address Internet governance from a Latin American and Caribbean perspective, commenting on how their projects have contributed to economic and social inclusion, advanced human rights and ensured universal access. The session will also be dedicated to presenting and discussing research papers that have addressed the use, development, evolution and regulation of the Internet in Latin America and the Caribbean. The session will thus seek to foster informed discussion and new opportunities for regional collaboration.
Simultaneous translation will be available to ensure the active participation and inclusion of non English speakers, therefore we kindly request to consider enabling zoom interpretation. Moderators will promote a balance between audience participation online and onsite, applying strategies like reserving a slot for remote audiences questions or comments.
