18 - 22 May, Geneva, Switzerland

The WSIS Forum 2009 is to be held from 18 to 22 May 2009, at the ITU Headquarters, Geneva, Switzerland. This event builds upon the tradition of annual WSIS May meetings, and its new format is a result of the open consultations with all WSIS Stakeholders.

The Forum will offer participants a series of diverse meetings, including high-level panels addressing critical issues to the WSIS implementation and follow-up in multi-stakeholder set-ups, WSIS action line facilitation meetings, thematic workshops, kick-off meetings for new initiatives and projects, speed-exchanges facilitating networking among the participants, and the others. You will have structured opportunities to network, to learn and to participate in the multi-stakeholder discussions and consultations on the WSIS implementation.
