Bright Internet Global Symposium (BIGS)
The Bright Internet Global Symposium (BIGS) is a dynamic international gathering that brings together researchers, policymakers, and innovators to shape the future of a safer, more accountable internet. As the global forum for exchanging the vision, research progress, and emerging outcomes of Bright Internet, BIGS spotlights a bold preventive cybersecurity paradigm focused on reducing threats at their source while balancing security, privacy, and freedom of expression. Rooted in Bright Internet’s five essential principles, the symposium creates a vibrant space for interdisciplinary dialogue, collaboration, and forward-looking ideas spanning technology, policy, governance, and global cooperation. BIGS has been held as a pre-ICIS workshop since 2017 as posted at www.brightinternet.org.
