ICANN Meetings have been central to ICANN’s multistakeholder model since its formation in 1998. They provide a venue for learning about ICANN, advancing policy work, conducting outreach, exchanging best practices, conducting business deals, and interacting with members of the ICANN community, Board, and organization. ICANN Meetings are held three times each year in different regions of the globe to enable attendees from around the world to participate in person.

The meetings are known as Community Forum, Policy Forum, and Annual General Meeting (AGM). Each meeting has a different focus and duration, and they offer a rich and diverse program of activities, sessions, opportunities for newcomers, and sponsorship opportunities. Attendance is free and open to anyone, and ICANN offers a range of services to ensure that the power of participation is just a click away for those who cannot physically attend.

Newcomers and members of the global Internet community who would otherwise be unable to attend can also take advantage of special orientation programs and fellowship grants. Inquiries for sponsorship opportunities and media inquiries are welcome at all ICANN meetings
