  • Registrants
  • DNS experts
  • gTLD applicants
  • Regional TLD organizations
  • IT and Internet businesses
  • Entrepreneurs

As in previous years, ICANN is partnering with several members of the technical community to co-host the event. Latin American and Caribbean Top Level Domains (LACTLD), the Internet Address Registry for Latin America and the Caribbean (LACNIC), Internet Society (ISOC), and the Public Interest Registry (PIR). This year, we are proud to receive the local support from NIC Argentina.

About ICANN

ICANN's mission is to help ensure a stable, secure, and unified global Internet. To reach another person on the Internet, you need to type an address – a name or a number – into your computer or other device. That address must be unique so computers know where to find each other. ICANN helps coordinate and support these unique identifiers across the world. ICANN was formed in 1998 as a nonprofit public benefit corporation with a community of participants from all over the world.
