Goals
LACNIC's Sponsorship Program seeks to support the participation of members of the Latin American and Caribbean Internet community in LACNIC events in order to:
- Raise awareness about LACNIC and the services offered by the organization
- Provide technical training opportunities
- Encourage community participation in the Policy Development Process
- Facilitate community involvement in LACNIC's activities: participation in the LACNIC Technical Forum and in the different working groups (CSIRTs and others)
- Promote information sharing among industry professionals with similar technical interests
- Contribute to the creation of synergies between different stakeholders that will result in the creation of working groups on issues of common interest
- Facilitate professional and social networking
INDOTEL, the organization hosting LACNIC 31, will offer support specifically aimed at young professionals and/or advanced students of degrees in the field of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the Dominican Republic so they can attend the LACNIC 31 event to be held in the country from May 6 to 10, 2019.
