Following administrative changes at the start of the year, Netvís – Netöryggismiðstöð Íslands, a department under the Icelandic Media Commission, is now the Iceland Safer Internet Centre. It assumed this important responsibility from The Home and School Associations in a mutually agreeable arrangement.

The conference was opened by a welcome speech from the Minister of Education and Children's Affairs, followed by presentations from various experts on safer internet topics who took the stage to share their knowledge. The conference ended with a panel discussion of young people, during which they shared their experiences and opinions. The conference was free of charge and open to everyone.

For this year's Media Literacy Week, the Media Commission and Children's Mental Health Centre introduced new screen time standards for children and young people. This year's topics were:

• More sex education: less porn. 
• Internet traffic school: teaching materials about media literacy and data privacy.
• Belonging online: queer youth in a digital world. 
• Will the future be the past we don't want? issues of disabled youth and disabled people of foreign origin online. 
• Online friendships of adolescents in socially vulnerable situations. 
• Using technology to learn: a video game that adapts to children's learning abilities. 
• Law enforcement in video games.
