During the 19th annual IGF, interested stakeholders can display or distribute relevant information about their Internet governance-related activities at the IGF Village.

Organizations interested in arranging Pre-events or 'Day 0' Events are invited to submit requests for a session slot through the application e-form.  

Networking sessions are interactive gatherings of stakeholders interested in the same or a similar issue on Internet ‎governance. Their open (in the case of face-to-face events - open-seating) formats are spontaneous ‎and can serve as icebreakers, prompting quicker ways for people to get to know each other. ‎Networking sessions are also a suitable session type for social gatherings, or for gatherings of people ‎and organizations from a particular region, stakeholder group, or area of activity.‎

Lightning talks are fully in-person events that are brief, to-the-point, prepared presentation on a specific Internet governance issue.

Stakeholders with demonstrated interest in Internet governance and who can clearly outline the Internet governance-related objective to be achieved through this session, are invited to submit requests for session slot through the application e-form.  

These types of sessions serve to launch an Internet governance-related initiative or publication, or to host award ceremonies. Proposals should clearly state the relevance to Internet governance and the IGF themes. 

All stakeholders are invited to submit proposals for workshops 

Stakeholders are invited to apply to organize different types of sessions at IGF 2024 within the deadline: 5 May
