Hello IETF 93 Companions!

The Companions will have a Companions Reception on Sunday July 19, 2015 at 4:30pm at the Hilton Prague. The Reception is tentatively scheduled to take place on the Summer Terrace, Mezzanine level of the hotel. We will let you know when the place is confirmed. After the Companions Reception, you are welcome to join the IETF 93 Welcome Reception (5:00pm-7:00pm) in the Grand Hilton Ballroom, also on the Mezzanine level. The IETF Registration will be in the Congress Hall Foyer area on the Lower Level (LL) of the hotel.

Prague is a very walkable city. Most of the famous sights to see are well within walking distance of the Hilton Prague. Old Town, and the Old Town Hall Astronomical Clock is only a half a mile. The Charles Bridge is a mile, and Prague Castle is two and a half miles.

We look forward to seeing you all in Prague! Please feel free to use this mailing list to keep in touch with each other, and plan outings together.

Best regards,
