This year the IGF restored GigaNet’s annual symposium to its former glory, providing a full day (6 and a half hours) in a choice conference room. The GigaNet Steering Committee and its Program Chair have finalized the program for 2025. You can see the full program here.
The Symposium will be held at the Nova Spektrum conference center, Lillestrøm, Norway, June 23, 2025. GigaNet will be in Workshop Room 6.
The program features a panel of European scholars on Low Earth Orbiting Satellites (LEOs), another panel of Europeans on multilateralism and global technology governance, three individually selected “frontier” research papers from GigaNet members, a panel discussion/debate on “Should WSIS End?” and an open mic session with the elected GigaNet steering committee members.
Attendance at the GigaNet Symposium, as always, will require registration for the UN Internet Governance Forum. Register here: https://indico.un.org/event/1016806/
