Each year, it brings together 600–900 stakeholders from across Europe, both on site and online, to discuss key issues related to the future of the Internet. The messages emerging from these discussions are published and presented to the European Commission, the Council of Europe, the UN Internet Governance Forum, and other relevant institutions.
