The 15th African Internet Governance Forum is scheduled for 2–5 November 2026 in Accra, covering AI governance, connectivity, trust and digital inclusion.

Who should consider attending

Policy researchers, internet infrastructure specialists, advocates for digital access, public-sector technologists and students interested in digital rights.
