The objective of the Internet Society’s 'Collaborative Leadership Exchange is to bring together all interested participants to network, relationship build, exchange ideas, discuss key local/regional Internet governance issues, and explore applicable solutions. The event will be focused on Internet Society’s projects on strengthening and growing the Internet, while integrating the inputs, requirements, and experiences of different stakeholder groups. This session will contribute to building communities of learning and fostering relationships that create a multiplier effect on that cascades throughout the IGF week of activities, and beyond. There will be around two rounds of discussions encompassing key topics and facilitating conversations.

The session will have a strong online component as we expect most of our IGF Youth Ambassadors to attend the event online. The online and onsite moderators will work together to ensure that input from both online and on-site participants is received. The online moderator will encourage remote participation during the entire session. The organizational team has experience in conducting this session online and onsite which will make the planning and integration of everyone's feedback smoother.
