A very comprehensive APrIGF this year, ably managed by TWNIC who will also take care of the streaming via YouTube. I imagine, given the timezone (UTC=*), a lot of us will be doing catch up viewing.It's not clear if there will be human captioning, as in previous years, but if I find out there is, I will post streamtext links.
On 21 – 23 August 2024 the 15th Asia Pacific Regional Internet Governance Forum (APrIGF) will be held as a hybrid event, online and in Taipei, with the overarching theme ' Evolving Ecosystems, Enduring Principles: Shaping Responsible Internet Governance'.
APrIGF serves as a platform for discussion, exchange and collaboration at a regional level, and also where possible to aggregate national IGF discussions, ultimately advance the Internet governance development in the Asia Pacific region.
