Lifetime Achievement Award
The Lifetime Achievement Award is a LACNIC initiative that since 2009 honors professionals who are part of the Latin American and Caribbean Internet ecosystem, promoting values ??such as innovation and the promotion of a common vision for Internet development across the region.
In line with LACNIC's vision of promoting an open, stable, and secure Internet for the development of Latin America and the Caribbean, the Lifetime Achievement Award highlights the accomplishments of professionals who have promoted the collaborative Internet model and who have worked in fields such as Internet governance, the development of technical capabilities, the promotion of Internet standards development and adoption, and the advancement of the digital economy of the region.
Since its first edition in 2009, the Award has been presented to nineteen leaders from thirteen different countries in our region.
The Lifetime Achievement Award honors LACNIC community leaders who have continuously worked to promote Internet development and deployment in Latin America and the Caribbean.
It is awarded to leaders who, in addition to working in their local context, have also contributed to regional processes to promote the consolidation of the Internet in Latin America and the Caribbean.
