First RIPE Meeting?

We want all newcomers to have an enjoyable and rewarding experience at their first RIPE Meeting. That’s why we have a Meet & Greet Team – a friendly group of RIPE NCC staff, who are there to answer any questions you might have about RIPE 79, the RIPE community and the RIPE NCC. The Meet & Greet Team can also help you make an appointment with RIPE NCC staff to discuss any issues that may be of interest to you, including Internet number resource requests, becoming a RIPE NCC member, and billing information. They can also introduce you to key players from the RIPE community, as well as other newcomers.

The Meet & Greet Team will be wearing special red t-shirts. Feel free to approach them if you need anything. You can also find them during lunch breaks at the Meet & Greet dining tables, which will be clearly marked as reserved for newcomers.

If you have any questions before or during the meeting , you can email meeting [at] ripe [dot] net.
