About Universal Acceptance (UA) Day
UA Day will be an opportunity to rally local, regional, and global communities and organizations to spread Universal Acceptance (UA) awareness and to encourage UA adoption with key stakeholders. The day will consist of UA awareness, training, academic curriculum, adoption and strategy sessions held by regional and local organizations, the Universal Acceptance Steering Group (UASG), global partners, and ICANN.
UA is a technical requirement that ensures all valid domain names and email addresses, regardless of script, language, or character length, can be equally used by all Internet-enabled applications, devices, and systems.

If you are hosting a UA Day event, presentation materials, logos, and key resources will be available in February 2025.
