The ICT for Development Platform

A coalition of civil society organizations arranged for an expo to run alongside the summit. This expo, the ICT for Development Platform, allowed organizations, companies and countries from around the world to showcase initiatives utilizing information and communications technologies (ICTs) for global development. The expo also served as home to dozens of parallel events, including meetings hosted by my Digital Divide Network, Microsoft, and other entities.

Entering the expo center early Monday morning.
