Several alternatives were explored, including the possibility of postponing the event to later in the year. After weighing all considerations, with deep regret, the MSG Leadership team, Local Host, and Secretariat have collectively reached the difficult decision to transition APrIGF 2025 to a fully virtual format.

However, this decision was made as safety and well-being of all participants are our utmost priority. The APrIGF Leadership team remains committed to ensuring that APrIGF 2025 proceeds smoothly in its virtual format, and we are grateful for the patience, understanding, and continued support of our community during this period of uncertainty.
