INET is a global meeting program arranged by ISOC in which users, policy makers, technologists and operators from all over the world come together to discuss the development of the Internet and other related global issues. The INET Conference is one of the longest running Internet events.

Since 1992, multiple INETs have been held by ISOC each year in specific regions, with the conferences revolving around the issues of that community. As a result, the local communities get close observation of other global issues and come in contact with top class technology experts.

The most recent INET regional conference was held in Kathmandu, Nepal. It was held on 17-18 March 2016 and focused on ICT's role in disaster management, taking into account the lessons learned from the 7.6 magnitude earthquake that hit Nepal in April 2015.
