Internet Hall of Fame
Business Profile
Core Value Proposition
Internet Hall of Fame provides recognition for Internet pioneers whose extraordinary contributions have helped shape the Internet into what it is today.
Target Customer
Inductees, nominees, peers who nominate, Internet Society community, researchers and professionals in the Internet ecosystem, and the general public interested in Internet history and governance.
Key Differentiator
Global, peer-nominated recognition program for Internet visionaries guided by a diverse advisory board of inductees and presented by the Internet Society; combines annual ceremonies with public-facing inductee profiles and historical documentation.
Implementation Timeline
Nomination process exists as part of the program; inductees are announced and honored at an annual induction ceremony. The content confirms a 2025 induction ceremony (September 17) with eight inductees; 2025 inductees include Patrik Fältström, Tarek Kamel, Dong Liu, Kirk Lougheed, Ram Mohan, Hyunje Park, John S. Quarterman, and Joyce Reynolds. The program also notes ongoing nomination opportunities and past/advisory board cycles (e.g., 2022-2023, 2021).
