The Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis was the first destination of the Caribbean ICT Roadshow, which was held from 26^th to 27^th August, 2009. Held in association with the 5^th Caribbean Internet Governance Forum, the programme was developed to complement a European Commission funded project on ICT for Improving Education, Diversification and Competitiveness (ICT4EDC) being undertaken in the Federation.

With a tag-line “ICT for All”, the Roadshow sought to address the perception that ICT was only for certain sectors of the national community. The programme focused on the layman and the need for all citizens to embrace ICT.  There were excellent examples of ICT innovation and many recommendations were made for supporting ICT innovators. Participants were introduced to and encouraged to participate in the activities of international organisations that oversee the Internet.

A strong case was made for the establishment of an Internet Exchange Point in St. Kitts and Nevis and delegates indicated their intent to pursue this issue.

The highly interactive Youth Forum was extremely well received by an audience comprising young people of ages 6 to 18 and several parents. The Forum addressed the dangers in cyberspace and introduced participants to the available podcasting tools on the Internet and demonstrated how they could be used to create indigenous content.
