April 23: Internet Society’s ‘Community Day Africa and Middle East 2025’


by Dr. Piyush Mathur



The US-based Internet Society—globally active since the late 1990s in promoting and supporting people’s uninterrupted access to the Internet—will hold its so-called ‘Community Day’ focussing on Africa and the Middle East on April 23, 2025.

This is a partial screenshot of the Internet Society’s online page announcing its ‘Community Day Africa and the Middle East 23 April 2025.’

A community day is a 90-minute Zoom meeting that brings together the Internet Society’s registered users and guests with its experts and community representatives working in a target area—or a cluster of countries classified according to the organisation’s priorities and strategic map. These events tend to highlight the organisation’s recent achievements, ongoing challenges, and future plans related to a target area.

The experts who will speak at this meeting will be Egypt’s Noha Ashraf, Mali’s Bakary Kouyate, Nigeria’s Emmanuel Nnaemeka, and Zambia’s Tamara Bengesai.

The meeting will start at 14:00 Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) on April 23, 2025, a Wednesday.

To attend this virtual event, register here.

The Internet Society (ISOC) was incorporated as an international non-profit organisation in April 1997 in Washington, the District of Columbia (DC).


Dr. Piyush Mathur, the author of Technological Forms and Ecological Communication: A Theoretical Heuristic (Lexington Books, 2017), is a member of the Internet Society.
