WSIS Forum 2010 was held from 10 to 14 of May 2010 at the ITU Headquarters, Geneva, Switzerland. This event built upon the tradition of annual WSIS May meetings, and its new format was the result of open consultations with all WSIS Stakeholders. The host ITU and the co organizers ITU, UNESCO, UNCTAD and UNDP would like to thank all participants of the WSIS Forum 2010 for their enthusiastic, meaningful and engaged participation.

The Forum offered participants a series of diverse interactions, including opening ceremony, high level plenary session, five high-level debates addressing critical issues to the WSIS implementation and follow-up in multi-stakeholder set-ups, fifteen WSIS Action Line facilitation meetings, six interactive sessions, twenty thematic workshops, six kick-off meetings for new initiatives and projects, six knowledge exchanges facilitating networking among the participants, and others. The WSIS Forum 2010 provided structured opportunities to network, learn and to participate in multi-stakeholder discussions and consultations on WSIS implementation

Facilities were made available to make the forum as inclusive and participatory as possible. Several sessions were conducted in a debate style to encourage participation from the participants.

Translation was offered in 6 languages for various sessions. Sessions were webcast and diverse ways of social networking were used to reach the last mile.
