What is HK APIGA and why should you care? HK APIGA (Asia Pacific Internet Governance Academy – Hong Kong) is a two‑day program where students and young professionals discover how the Internet is governed, using AI and creative rights as a starting point. It brings together voices from law, business, tech, design, and the arts to explore who makes the rules for our digital world and how. Over 27–28 March 2026 in Hong Kong, participants will: - Learn the basics of Internet governance and the multistakeholder model. - Hear from regional and global experts on AI, copyright, and digital policy. - Join a Model ICANN simulation, role‑playing real stakeholder groups to debate real Internet policy issues. By the end, you’ll walk away with sharper critical thinking and policy skills, a cross‑disciplinary network, and a pathway to the regional APIGA program in Busan, South Korea. 📅 27–28 March 2026 · 📍 Hong Kong 🔗 Details & registration: hk.apiga.asia #HKAPIGA #APIGA #InternetGovernance #AI #HongKong #Youth
