Participation in the Summit is free, all you need to do is register via http://www.igf2021.pl/. The organisers suggest registering promptly as the number of places is limited. The Digital Summit is a UN initiative initiating and enabling a global discussion on the development of digital space and the most current issues related to its functioning. Each year, it is attended by several thousand participants, including representatives of governments and international organisations, business representatives, along with the largest and best-known Internet companies, NGO activists as well as representatives of the scientific community, theoreticians and practitioners.
