Speaking @ WSIS

The World Summit on the Information Society Forum 2013 represents the world’s largest annual gathering of the ‘ICT for development’ community. This forum will provide structured opportunities to network, learn and participate in multi-stakeholder discussions and consultations on WSIS implementation. This event builds upon the tradition of annual WSIS May meetings, and its format is the result of open consultations with all WSIS Stakeholders. The WSIS Forum 2013 Open Consultation Process on the Thematic Aspects and Innovations on the Format was structured in five phases from October 2012 till April 2013. The Agenda and program of the WSIS Forum is built on the basis of the official submissions received during the Open Consultation Process.
