Asia Pacific Regional Internet Governance Forum (APrIGF) is a multi-stakeholder platform for public policy on internet and its impact on society.

Since 2010, this prime annual conference draws in discussions and incubates collaborations for the developments of universally affordable, accessible, non-discriminated, secure and sustainable internet across the region.

Discussion points from APrIGF are linked to the global Internet Governance Forum. The conference program consists of three parts: the “pre-event” meetings, the “core conference,” and the “Youth IGF Camp.”
