ITU-D -FLASH • 2015 GLOBAL SYMPOSIUM FOR REGULATORS (GSR15), LIBREVILLE, GABON, 9-11 JUNE 2015 The 15th edition of the GSR, organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), in collaboration with the Gabonese Autorité de Régulation des Communications Electroniques et des Postes (ARCEP) will take place under the Patronage of His Excellency, Mr Ali Bongo Ondimba, President of the Republic of Gabon.Under the central theme of \"Mind the Digital Gap - Regulatory Incentives to achieve digital opportunities\", participants will explore ways to ensure that all citizens can benefit from the social and economic opportunities brought by the digital economy. For digital opportunities to fully materialize in today’s increasingly complex environment, an adaptive, consultative and innovative approach to regulation is more than ever required. But what kind of regulation is therefore needed to close the digital gap? Regulators, policy makers, industry leaders and other key ICT stakeholders will share their views, engage in interactive discussions and identify best practices moving forward. GSR brings together heads of national telecom/ICT regulatory authorities from around the world and has earned a reputation as the global annual venue for regulators to share their views and experiences. GSR fosters as well a dynamic Global Industry Regulators' Dialogue (GRID), between regulators, policy makers, industry leaders and other key ICT stakeholders. The first two days of GSR, the GRID sessions, are open to regulators, policy makers and ITU–D Sector members; the third day remains exclusive for regulators and policy makers.The next Private Sector Chief Regulatory Officers meeting (CRO) will take place on 8 June 2015 in Libreville, Gabon, as a part of the GSR-15 Pre-Event Programme.
