ITU, UNESCO, UNCTAD and UNDP, as the co-organizers, are pleased to invite you to the WSIS Forum 2023, which ITU will host. The WSIS Forum is scheduled to be held from 13 to 17 March 2023 at the International Conference Centre Geneva (CICG) in Geneva, and remotely, under the theme of WSIS Action Lines for building back better and accelerating the achievement of the SDGs. Virtual sessions will continue in April and May 2023. Register now for on-site or remote participation. We look forward to welcoming you to the WSIS Forum 2023.

The format, agenda, and thematic focus of the Forum are the result of an open consultation process with the involvement of all WSIS stakeholders. The Forum will build upon two tracks, the High-Level Track, consisting of policy statements, interactive high-level dialogues, a WSIS Prize ceremony, a ministerial round table, and the Forum Track, which will offer participants a series of WSIS Action Line facilitation meetings, country workshops, thematic workshops, training sessions, special tracks on various thematic areas, knowledge cafés, a Hackathon as well as an exhibition addressing issues that are critical to WSIS implementation and follow-up in a multistakeholder setting. The complete agenda is now available online.
