UN IGF 2021

The IGF 2021 will be the place for international debate. Several thousand people from all over the world will discuss the opportunities and challenges posed by the Internet, as well as ways on how to fully use its potential. It is in Katowice that global topics and best practices related to the digital space will be discussed.

The overarching theme of this year's IGF is Internet United.

We want the IGF 2021 to be an important event for young people from all over the world, who to a large extent create the global Internet environment. Therefore, one of the accompanying events of IGF 2021 will be the IGF Youth Summit (IGF Youth).

It is worth remembering that the UN IGF 2021 does not end on 10 December. On 10-12 December, the so-called IGF After Party – a weekend full of innovative discussions and interesting activities for young programmers from around the world is going to take place.
See you in Katowice! We hope this will be an opportunity for extremely interesting discussions and good decisions. We are waiting for you!
