ISOC@ events offer an opportunity for Internet Society members to connect with peers, chapter representatives, organization member representatives, members of the Board of Trustees, Internet Society staff, and key stakeholders.

The Internet is a transformative force. But not everyone benefits from it equally. Around 2 billion people still lack connectivity. And, increasingly, our online safety is threatened by the inability to trust that our personal information is in our control. The stakes have never been higher. That’s why we partner with communities to help people overcome their unique barriers to connectivity, be they geographic, technical, regulatory, or financial.

As part of our 2030 Strategy, we are focusing on addressing two critical global challenges facing the Internet:

The objectives of the events are:

• Identifying opportunities to build and defend your Internet locally, regionally and globally
• Getting to know each other, foster connections and discuss collaboration opportunities around the world
• Learning more about the Internet Society’s mission and goals

ISOC@ events follow an informal structure, and generally include short introductions from key staff and stakeholders and plenty of time for networking and discussion.
