The Plaza, an open space for networking and showcasing

The Plaza will be an important part of the inaugural meeting of the IGF, with its architecture designed to facilitate networking opportunities between organisations and companies in the field of Internet Governance. The Plaza also offers the opportunity for stakeholders to attract attention from top decision makers, by showcasing projects in the field of Internet Governance. Exchange knowledge and best practises, build partnerships and learn about the latest innovations in the field of Internet Governance! All exhibits must relate to the priority themes of the IGF:

• Openness - Freedom of expression, free flow of information, ideas and knowledge
• Security - Creating trust and confidence through collaboration
• Diversity - Promoting multilingualism and local content
• Access - Internet Connectivity: Policy and Cost

Architecture of The Plaza

The open architecture of the Plaza is designed to facilitate the building of partnerships, with 400 m2 transformed into a small market place to enable participants to exchange contacts, ideas, dialogue and experiences. Open stands offer the opportunity for exhibitors to showcase their latest projects and seating reminiscent of the WSIS entices stakeholders to catch up on progress made since Tunis 2005.
