Overview:

The NextGen@ICANN initiative brings together future community members between the ages of 18 and 30 to discuss, share, and learn about ICANN, the multistakeholder process, and to get more involved. Students will be holding daily discussions and do presentations each day of the meeting from 1400 – 1600. All are invited to attend and participate in the discussions that will be happening on a rolling basis.

Community Outreach Event

Nominet Trust has supported Apps for Good since it launched in 2010. Back then, the programme supported less than 50 students. In this academic year, more than 17,000 young people have signed up for the Apps for Good course.

Each year the nationwide Apps for Good Awards competition attracts the top student app teams from across the UK to compete to have their apps launched commercially. ICANN delegates are invited to meet the eight 2014 Apps for Good winners while they develop their winning ideas with leading industry app developers. Delegates will have the opportunity to meet the winners and their teachers, hear about their ideas and find out more about this fantastic programme and the other projects Nominet Trust supports.
