This is the second Internet Governance Forum. In 2010 Russian Internet Governance Forum was a first global domain industry event to be held in Russia and Eastern Europe, becoming a part of regionally held IGF’s.

Russian Internet Governance Forum is an event where all professional views can be brought to attention and discussed. It aims to find a consensus between government agencies, telecommunications industry, businesses and civil society, leading to successful results in Russia and worldwide. Forum is a starting point for many collaborations in which Russian Internet experts could take part along with their international colleagues.

Plenary meetings, roundtable sessions and panel discussions provide a most versatile environment for collaboration on many topical issues.
