The 2024 GCF Annual Meeting program builds directly on the insights and priorities of the successful previous editions. Its theme, “Advancing Collective Action in Cyberspace,” will be a call to deepen multi-stakeholder engagement and drive collective action across key strategic priorities.

The forum advances collaboration across five thought-provoking sub-themes, which in 2024 are:

• Beyond Cyber Discord: Building trust within geopolitical competition – This sub-theme explores innovative approaches and collaborative frameworks to transcend geopolitical discord and build enduring trust among nation-states and relevant stakeholders.
• Cyber Psychology: Decoding human behaviors in Cyberspace – This sub-theme focuses on unraveling the psychological aspects of human minds—of cyber criminals to understand their motivations, and of users to protect them from cyber manipulation in the ever-evolving cyber environment.
• Cyber Social Fabric: Strengthening development and inclusion in Cyberspace – This sub-theme explores avenues for ecosystem development and policies to promote social cohesion and ensure Cyberspace catalyzes growth and equitable participation and benefits.
• Thriving Cyber Economy: Developing strong markets and building resilient cyber ecosystems – This sub-theme focuses on strategies to foster economic prosperity within the cybersecurity domain to integrate the fragmented markets and foster ecosystem development.
• New Cyber Frontier: Integrating convergent technologies in Cyberspace – This sub-theme explores the changing face of advanced and convergent technologies to understand the implications for Cyberspace.
