Previous Digital Summits

To permit candid discussions, we never attribute quotes without the speaker’s specific permission. Global Government Forum produces a report after each event so that delegates can share some of the discussions with their colleagues and a wider audience. These focus on the event’s key findings, perspectives and messages, and blend unattributed and paraphrased comments with quotes cleared by participants after the event.
