The 18th World Telecommunication/ICT Indicators Symposium (WTIS-23) took place in Geneva, Switzerland, from 3 to 4 July 2023. WTIS-23 brought together government ministers, business leaders, regulators, national statisticians, academics, data producers, analysts, and partners to discuss the latest trends in digital development and the related data aspects. Under the theme “Advancing the measurement agenda to achieve universal and meaningful connectivity,” the Symposium highlighted the importance of adequately measuring the enablers of connectivity and showcase promising approaches.

The ITU World Telecommunication/ICT Indicators Symposium (WTIS) - formerly the World Telecommunication Indicators Meeting (WTIM) - is the main global forum for telecommunication and information society measurements. Since 1996, the WTIS convenes government ministers, business leaders, regulators, national statisticians, top academics, and ICT data producers and analysts, from all parts of the globe, to discuss issues related to information society trends and their measurement. The adopted outcomes of discussions at the WTIS provide strategic guidance to the international community, including ITU, on future work priorities related to international harmonization of information society measurements. WTIS is open to all ITU members as well as to experts in the subject of information society measurement.
