ABOUT UA DAY
Organized by ICANN and the community-led UASG, UA Day consists of UA awareness, adoption, academic, and technical training sessions hosted by the UASG, ICANN, and interested global partners and organizations. These events will help stakeholders to better understand the benefits of UA and how they can make their systems UA-ready.
The inaugural UA Day, held in 2023, was a truly worldwide event, with more than
9,400 participants from over 40 countries/territories taking part in more than 50 global events. Building on that success, UA Day 2024 will continue to rally local, regional, and global stakeholders to encourage UA adoption. UA Day is a global event along with a mix of local and regional virtual, in-person, and hybrid informational and technical training sessions. These sessions will be aimed at reaching technical and language communities, tech companies, governments, academia, and Domain Name System (DNS) industry stakeholders to encourage UA adoption in order to achieve a more multilingual and digitally inclusive Internet.
A cornerstone of today’s global Internet, UA offers many benefits for Internet users and the organizations that serve them. Today, there are more than 5.3 billion Internet users, and at least one billion more are expected to come online. Most of the new users live in countries that speak and write in languages other than English. Achieving UA ensures everyone has the ability to experience the full social and economic power of the Internet using a domain name and email address that best aligns with their interests, business, culture, language, and script.
