ITU Digital World 2020 postponed to Sept 2021

ITU Digital World 2021 will be more important than ever as a platform for the global ICT community to come together, to network and connect face-to-face. To acknowledge the fundamental importance of digital technology in our lives – and the stark inequalities across the world in accessing that technology. To share lessons learnt from responses to the COVID-19 crisis, and work towards closing the digital divide.

ITU Telecom turns 50 in 2021! So this will be our anniversary edition – we’ll be celebrating an incredible half-century of technological development, and the strength of our collaborative, multilateral approach…”
