The 19th annual IGF meeting will be hosted in a hybrid format. The meeting will aim at accommodating the participation of stakeholders present onsite in Riyadh or participating online in an equitable manner. This hybrid approach also extends to the session organizing teams (organizers, speakers, moderators and rapporteurs) who will participate online or onsite. This further means that all session-engaged parties can participate onsite or online.

Introduction

With the new age of gaming in web 3.0 coming along, it is high time we move gaming from a primary purpose of entertainment to a place where it meets a purpose and entertainment. This coalition is – ‘Gaming for purpose – G4P’. G4P is a growing movement that is using gaming to address real-world challenges and make a positive impact on society.


The MAG approved in 2024 a new working group on multilingualism (WG-Multilingual) to provide copies of MAG meeting summaries and records in all official six UN languages.
