This year, the IGF will be held online, in two phases. ‎

Phase One, 23 October – 6 November 2020, will include Day Zero events, introductory sessions for the four thematic tracks (Data, ‎Environment, Inclusion and Trust) as well as Open Forums, National, Sub-regional, Regional and ‎Youth IGF initiatives (NRIs), Dynamic Coalition and newcomers sessions. ‎

Phase Two, 9-17 November 2020, will include main sessions, workshops, high level leader sessions and formal opening ‎and closing sessions. ‎

The IGF MAG is still finalising in which phase to schedule Best Practice Forum sessions, music night ‎and the IGF village, as well as a range of other networking sessions.

More information about the virtual IGF schedule is available in the IGF MAG Chair’s July blog post.
