    \n
  1. The 17th IGF met at the UNECA Conference Centre in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, on 28 November \u2013 2 December 2022: 5,120 participants from 170 countries (2,520 onsite) across some 300 sessions under the theme "Resilient Internet for a Shared Sustainable and Common Future."<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. The programme was built around five themes aligned with the UN's Global Digital Compact \u2014 mentioned 265 times during the week. The outcome document, the Addis Ababa IGF Messages, fed connectivity, fragmentation, data, safety and AI debates into the 2024 GDC process.<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. The meeting also carried a contradiction: host Ethiopia was two years into an internet shutdown in its Tigray region. At the closing ceremony, Japan was announced as host of the next IGF, passing the baton to Kyoto 2023.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
