That’s a wrap on #IGF2025! Thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth, chatted with us, joined the ISOC@ event, or attended one of our sessions.
We always appreciate the opportunity to connect with stakeholders around the globe and participate in such meaningful and impactful discussions about the Internet.
Collaboration done at events like the IGF is crucial to Internet governance because if we want to achieve an Internet that is truly for everyone, it must represent everyone.

On the right, a quote “We exist at a particularly critical point at the moment with two conflicting trends. One is that the growth of access is plateauing. And the reason for that is that we have connected the parts that are easy and affordable to connect…The remaining 2.6 billion are going to require a different approach. At the same time telecommunications and the Internet is a force multiplier. It’s an amplifier. So those 2.6 billion people unconnected are falling further behind all the time as those with access profit from the benefits of access. - Steve Song, Senior Director, Infrastructure Mapping and Development"

On the left, a quote “If you think about resiliency, I think the main question that we have to ask ourselves in these approaches is what can possibly go wrong? And what could possibly be broken? That informs your risk-based approach. - Olaf Kolkman, Principal, Internet Technology, Policy, and Advocacy”. On the right, a photo of Olaf speaking at the IGF.
