This Introductory Session will “set the scene” for the Digital Inclusion discussions during IGF2019, and aims to connect IGF participants engaged in digital inclusion issues.
We are pleased to announce that Doreen Bogdan-Martin will join the session to give keynote remarks. Bogdan-Martin is the Director of the ITU Development Sector and, significantly, the first woman to hold one of the ITU's five elected positions.
The majority of the session will consist of small, group discussions based upon one of following five subthemes:
- Access, affordability, infrastructure
- Local content, multilingualism
- Skills, education & jobs
- Social inclusion
- Governance
All participants will join in plenary after the break-out discussions to share insights and their interests for the week of IGF programming ahead.
Organizers of workshops submitted under the Digital Inclusion theme are especially encouraged to attend.
