Internet Governance Forum 2026 Brings Global Internet Community to Nairobi

The aim of the IGF is to provide an open and inclusive space for discussing the most important issues related to the Internet and digital policy, while enabling different stakeholders to exchange experiences, good practices, and possible solutions.This year’s overarching theme is “Governing the Internet in the Age of Intelligence: Our Shared Responsibility.”

The program focuses on five main thematic areas: Internet governance and international cooperation; digital rights and inclusion; trust and security; Internet infrastructure and access; and innovation, economy, and sustainability. Discussions will cover topics such as AI governance, cybersecurity, digital identity, the reliability of online information, the DNS and Internet infrastructure, the digital divide, and maintaining an open and resilient Internet. The IGF 2026 program includes more than 250 sessions, including workshops, open forums, main sessions, networking events, and a new format called Internet Governance Labs.

The forum will take place at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi, with participation available both onsite and online. Participation is free of charge, but advance registration is required. More information about the program and registration is available on the official IGF 2026 website: https://www.igf2026.ke/
