[Air-L] Announcing the online Next Generation Internet Policy Summit - Sep 28/29 2020

[Katja Bego]

Hi AoiR community,

I wanted to let you know about a free, online conference that might be of
interest
to many of you.

As part of the European Commission's *NGI initiative*
<https://research.ngi.eu/>, the NGI Forward project, the City of Amsterdam
and Nesta are organising a 2-day online conference (*28 and 29 September*)
of keynotes, interactive workshops and panels, focused
on setting out *a vision for a more democratic, resilient, sustainable,
trustworthy and inclusive internet by 2030*, and discussing *concrete
building blocks *- from policy interventions to technology solutions- that
could help get us closer towards this vision. We'll be discussing a wide
range of topics like building a greener internet, the ends  of digital
identity, geopolitics of tech, and procurement of fair AI.

The main audience for this conference is policymakers from the local level
up to the supranational, and civil society and researchers working on
internet policy-related topics, but anyone interested in building a better
future internet
is more than welcome to join us.

As you can see in the programme here <https://summit.ngi.eu/#programme>, the
event will feature wide range of great speakers and organisations,
including MEPs *Eva Kaili *and* Axel Voss*, Professors *Charlton
McIlwain* ('Black
Software'), *Anu Bradford *('The Brussels
Effect') and *Payal Arora* ('The Next Billion Users'), Former President of
Estonia *Toomas Hendrik Ilves*, Dutch State Secretary *Raymond Knops *and
also many (other) members of the AoiR community!

*YOU CAN SIGN UP HERE <https://summit.ngi.eu/register/>*

Hope to see some of you there!
Katja

P.S. For those of you in different timezones: we will be releasing all
sessions as videos post-event.
