IGF-USA 2020
Over the past few months, the Internet has grown to be even more essential to our lives in ways that we didn’t envision or couldn’t anticipate. Next week, on July 22 and 23, experts from civil society, industry, academia, and government will meet virtually for the U.S.-focused Internet Governance Forum (IGF-USA) 2020, a conference held once a year to discuss issues vital to the Internet from a domestic perspective.
