inSIG2017 concluded successfully after three days of intensive interactions, discussions, knowledge-sharing, and fun. Participants who came in as virtual strangers left with as friends, firm in their conviction that they were an integral part of the Internet Governance community.
The second edition of inSIG brought together 88 participants, including 63 Fellows from 5 countries, 15 Speakers from 6 countries, and the event Secretariat. The feedback from participants and speakers has been excellent.
The event has been documented through over 1200 Tweets and over 800 photographs. The videos of sessions will be uploaded at the inSIG channel on Youtube and most speaker presentations will be available from the Programme page.
