Asia Pacific yIGF 2023 Brisbane

Asia Pacific yIGF was first initiated by NetMission.Asia in 2010. It is organised and facilitated by NetMission ambassadors in conjunction with the Asia Pacific Regional Internet Governance Forum (APrIGF) annually, to raise awareness and build the capacity for youth to join the Internet governance discussions. Based on the mandate of IGF to bring people together from various stakeholder groups as equals, yIGF provides an open platform for the young generation to express and interchange their ideas and own thoughts on Internet governance freely.

This year, yIGF will be held as a 3-day meeting with a hybrid format and co-locate physically along with APrIGF 2023 in Brisbane, Australia. Participants will be engaged in discussing hot issues related to Internet governance with other young talents from the region and experienced speakers from the IG community.
