INET is a global meeting program arranged by ISOC in which users, policy makers, technologists and operators from all over the world sit together to discuss the development and other global issues related to the Internet. INET Conference is one of the longest running Internet events.[1]

Regional Meetings

Since 1992 multiple INETs are being held by ISOC each year in specific regions and the conferences revolve 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.[2] The basic purpose of arranging conferences in specific regions include:

  • Encouraging participation from multiple stakeholder groups.
  • Reduction of barriers such as travel time and cost, which are critical considerations in the developing world.
  • Development of each INET agenda in consultation with local representatives to address a range of topics that meet specific needs of the region.
