Namex Annual Meeting 2026

27-28 may 2026 - Roma

For a long time, we imagined the Internet as a universal promise: one network, open, available, boundless. An infrastructure built to connect everyone, everywhere, a shared space that seemed to exist outside the logic of power.

Today, that promise is being tested. The Internet is no longer simply a place of connection: it has become one of the territories where influence, control, and competition are exercised. It has entered, fully and by right, the domain of contemporary geopolitics.

Geopolitics doesn’t just read the world; it organizes it, contests it, redraws it. And it does so through submarine cables, data centers, exchange points, satellites, standards, and rules. Internet governance is no longer about network architecture alone. It is about the balance, growing more unstable by the day, between states, corporations, and international institutions.

As government shutdowns multiply, competing visions of digital sovereignty deepen, and the tech giants build proprietary networks on their own terms, one question becomes inescapable: will the future still hold a single global Internet, open, interoperable, shared? Or a fragmented network, divided by strategic rivalries, nationalism, and new centers of power?

NAM2026 is born inside that question. And it calls together those who build the network, govern it, and live it: operators, institutions, businesses, and international voices, gathered at the point where infrastructure, politics, economics, and visions of the future meet.
