Join us for an unforgettable celebration of the people who shape the Internet.

The i2Coalition Internet Leadership Awards return this October as the inspiring conclusion to our annual Congressional Fly-In. Each year, we honor individuals who have made transformative contributions to building and protecting the open, secure, and innovative Internet we all rely on.

This year’s event will be held just steps from the Capitol and will bring together Internet infrastructure leaders, policymakers, advocates, and visionaries for an afternoon of celebration, connection, and reflection.

Come hear the stories behind this year’s honorees—including Becky Burr, a legal trailblazer in digital privacy and Internet governance, and Mike Masnick, founder of Techdirt and one of the most respected defenders of digital rights today. More awardees will be announced soon.

Enjoy food, drinks, and conversation with the people working every day to keep the Internet free and resilient.


Your $35 ticket directly supports i2Coalition’s policy and advocacy work.


Don’t miss this chance to celebrate what we’ve built together—and what we must still protect.
