Get Involved

The International Civic Forum (ICF) 2024 will take place between 31 October – 1 November in Johannesburg, South Africa, following the Civic Tech Innovation Forum (CTIF), happening from 29 to 31 October. While the CTIF will bring the African civic tech community together to discuss civic tech innovations and uncover civic tech mysteries, the ICF will gather international civil society ecosystem to examine how digital trends are reshaping civic space. From exploring the impact of digital authoritarianism and disinformation to diving into the role of artificial intelligence, the ICF will tackle the challenges and opportunities that technology presents to civic space.
