Theme-park inspired, this virtual conference was like nothing you’ve seen before. From 16 to 18 November, we were online in a different way. There were live sessions to attend, there were exhibition booths to visit, there were lounges where members could interact with each other, and there were ways to learn about different parts of the Internet Society community. Internet Society projects were on display and local Internet victories were celebrated.
What better way to address today’s Internet challenges than to bring the whole Internet Society community together? And why not make it productive and fun, with a virtual theme park of innovations and solutions? There was something for every time zone, as we were operating on rotation, so you did not have to miss a thing!
You were able to start at the welcome area where you could have found details for each whirlwind day. From there, you were free to visit the various attractions around the theme park including stations that included live sessions, community lounges for networking and getting to know the various parts of the Internet Society community, exhibition booths ran by community members, and much more.
From grassroots initiatives to groundbreaking change, Community Week highlighted the importance of addressing key Internet challenges. It was a chance for members to learn about the important achievements of their like-minded companions all over the world—while sharing their own stories and perspectives on how to make the Internet better and safer for all.
If you aren’t yet a member, joining the Internet Society is free for individual members, and when you sign up, you can also find the chapters or interest groups that interest you.
