Swdish Internet Forum

Swedish Internet ForumThe 2nd annual Stockholm Internet Forum took place on May 22-23 2013. Freedom and openness, respect for human rights, innovation and global development are the key concepts for the Forum. The conference had two main themes this year: Internet Freedom and Security, and Internet Freedom and Development. Participants included policymakers, civil society representatives, activists, business representatives and technical community representatives. The entire program was webcast live and a detailed and high quality archive is available including summaries, a YouTube playlist, and also interviews.

It’s difficult to pick one session out to feature but here we have a high level discussion – Distributed Security in a National Context – in which Internet Society President Lynn St Amour participated (summary).
