Overview
ITU is organizing the Connect CIS Summit from 26 to 27 November 2009. The Summit, which will attract some 400 leaders from CIS and neighbouring states, governments, industry and financial institutions among others, will be hosted by His Excellency Mr. Alexander Lukashenko, President of the Republic of Belarus.
The Connect CIS Summit will be held in conjunction with the CIS Regional Preparatory Meeting (23-24 November 2009) for the 2010 World Telecommunication Development Conference (WTDC), which gathers Member States and partners once every four years to lay out plans for the coming period. Purpose
The overall objective of the Connect CIS Summit is to mobilize the human, financial and technical resources to support a rapid, region-wide transition to digital infrastructure and services, widely recognized as the engine of future economic growth and social and economic development. Priorities include rolling out broadband internet, expanding rural connectivity, creating a policy and regulatory environment to support investment and new business models, enhancing ICT training and human capacities and stimulating locally-relevant applications and services among others. Format
The Connect CIS Summit will offer a venue for leaders from the public and private sectors as well as international and regional financing and development agencies to network face-to-face and forge new partnerships. The Summit program will feature high-level panels, round tables and networking sessions as well as announcements of new partnerships. The Summit will be televised and made available via webcast.
