 Information and communications technologies enable economic and social development. However, there are challenges ahead in building an inclusive digital society that will empower countries, businesses and individuals. Global partners will benefit from working together towards a connected world where people will have opportunities in a digital economy. Our challenges are our opportunity. The Global Symposium for Regulators, GSR, is a place where regulators have come together every year since 2000 to discuss policy and regulatory challenges, opportunities and best practices. GSR is the world's largest neutral platform for regulators to engage with other regulators, policymakers and businesses. Why attend GSR in 2016? Be empowered. Be included. Build smart societies in a connected world. Today, the ICT sector is evolving rapidly and there is an even greater need for inclusive dialogue, cooperation and collaboration with other sectors where ICTs are bringing a huge value. GSR provides a neutral platform where we can hold that inclusive dialogue to foster the enabling environment for ICTs for development. Together, we can build a more inclusive society using ICTs.
