Dear all,

The European Commission and the 2025 Polish Presidency of the Council of the EU are organizing a “Global Multistakeholder High Level Conference on Governance of Web 4.0 and Virtual Worlds” on March 31-April 1, 2025, in Brussels and online. This conference “aims at triggering a global discussion on the principles for the global governance of Web 4.0 and virtual worlds feeding into the World Summit on the Information Society 20 years review (WSIS+20)”. ICANN President and CEO, Kurtis Lindqvist, will be participating in the event and speaking in the High-Level Panel.

The Commission has announced that during each parallel session, individuals and organizations can deliver 2-minute statements on covered topics to highlight key areas of agreement or disagreement. Those interested can register their willingness to speak via this survey. The deadline to register is March 14, 2025.

Participant statements can only be delivered in person. More details are available here.

Best,
