Physical (on-site) and Virtual (remote) participation


The UN Leaders Dialogue @ WSIS brings together senior leaders from across the United Nations system for a strategic and forward‑looking exchange on the future of global digital cooperation. Grounded in the long‑standing WSIS process and energized by the ambition of WSIS+20, this high‑level dialogue offers an opportunity to reaffirm shared commitments, align priorities, and strengthen collaboration in support of an inclusive, people‑centered digital future.

The dialogue creates space for open reflection, constructive discussion, and a shared look at how the UN system can accelerate WSIS implementation together. It also highlights the UN’s ongoing work to advance digital cooperation through UNGIS, support Member States in delivering WSIS outcomes, and promote digital inclusion, capacity‑building, and innovation across all regions.

The session invites leaders to explore how the UN can work even more effectively as one system — ensuring that the next chapter of WSIS+20 is coherent, collaborative, and truly transformative for people and communities worldwide.
