The Webna 2.0 Conference, held in Nazareth on September 16, 2025, marked the second annual conference on internet and digital communication in Arab society, co-led by the Israel Internet Association (ISOC-IL) and its Arab Expert Forum for Digital Inclusion in Israel, and supported by the Internet Society Foundation.
This year’s theme centered on the AI revolution and its implications for digital inclusion, safety, and skills development. The event brought together over 200 participants—including entrepreneurs, educators, and digital leaders—to explore challenges and opportunities related to AI literacy, digital rights, and online protection.
Highlights included the presentation of the new research study conducted by ISOC-IL on AI usage patterns among Israel’s Arab population and the effects of these tools on Arab society.
