World Summit on the Information Society Forum 2011

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) continue to change the way we live, work and communicate. Every year, the WSIS Forum brings together global key players in the field of ICTs in one venue to learn, network, discuss future ICT developments and applications, and engage in new partnerships. The WSIS Forum 2011 is to be held from 16 to 20 May 2011, in Geneva, Switzerland and hosted by ITU. This event builds upon the tradition of annual WSIS May meetings, and its format and thematic focus are the result of an open consultation process with the involvement of all WSIS Stakeholders. The Forum will offer participants a series of high level panels addressing critical issues to the WSIS implementation and follow-up in multi-stakeholder settings. The celebration of the World Telecommunication and Information Society Day will take place during the Forum on 17 May 2011. More information is available at www.wsis.org/forum
