All stakeholders are invited to submit proposals to hold workshops at the forthcoming IGF, which will be held in Geneva, Switzerland, on 18-21 December 2017.

The sub-themes for the meeting will be determined in part by the workshop proposals received, with proposers writing in their own tags.Tags on new and emerging issues, such as 'Artificial Intelligence', 'Work in the Digital Age', 'Law Enforcement & Encryption', etc., are particularly welcome. Pre-existing tags to choose from include but are not limited to, Internet of Things; Internet Economy; Policies Enabling Access; Cybersecurity; Human Rights Online; Gender Issues; and Digital Literacy; among many others.
All relevant information including the workshop proposal template [this is for proposers' reference until the submission e-form is available], guidelines and tips for submitting proposals, can be found below. The deadline for submission is Wednesday, 3 May 2017 23:59 UTC-11.
