	Happy Hour! Snacks and soft drinks will be provided and a cash
	bar will also be available.

	The Hackdemo Happy Hour will take place in the Sala Thai Ballroom
	 from 18:30 to 20:00.

6. Code Lounge
	In an effort to diversify the type of work that happens
	during IETF meetings, attendees are encouraged to organize
	sessions focused on running code throughout the meeting week. The
	Code Lounge is designed for groups to informally meet to
	brainstorm, code, and test ideas. The area will be designated by
	signage. Attendees can sign up for slots here: 

	https://trac.ietf.org/trac/ietf/meeting/wiki/103codelounge

	Attendees are encouraged to look at the final agenda and
	determine timeslots that have the least conflict to ensure
	successful attendance to the Code Lounge sessions as well as any
	traditional working group sessions.

7. Unofficial Side Meetings
	As communicated back in May (https://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/ietf/current/msg107813.html), 
	the IESG is running an agenda experiment on Friday of the IETF 103 meeting
	week.

	Monday through Thursday, we will have two rooms available for attendees
	to reserve for side meetings, as usual. On Friday, because there will be
	no working group meetings, we will have eight rooms available for unofficial side
	meetings. Projectors will be provided in all of the meeting rooms.
	Meetecho will not be recording or providing remote participation on
	Friday. Please note that all side meetings must conclude by 13:30.

	We realize that keeping track of all of these side meetings may prove
	challenging, so a calendar with subscription details can be found here:
