On 17 September, we celebrated the remarkable contributions of eight pioneers who were instrumental in bringing the Internet to life. This exclusive gathering united the Internet Society’s community to honor those who transformed an ambitious vision into the vast global network that connects our world today.
Together, we recognized the diversity and collaborative spirit that make the Internet truly unique. This year’s inductees hail from various countries and backgrounds, each playing a crucial role in constructing this incredible achievement.
