We also strongly encourage you to review The Tao of the IETF, which is available online at https://www.ietf.org/tao.html. It’s also not too late to request an IETF mentor. For more information about the IETF Mentoring Program, please see: https://ietf.org/resources/mentoring-program.html.

If you are unable to attend on Sunday, there is an online Newcomers Orientation embedded at the top ofhttps://ietf.org/newcomers.html.

We will send a separate email with a link to register for Speed Mentoring, so look for that soon. Speed mentoring is a simple and effective way for you to be introduced to a variety of experienced IETF attendees — often working group (WG) chairs — who can help you get more involved in your areas of interest.

> -  Meet-and-Greet with WG chairs and other IETF leaders from 1600-1700 in the Atrio Restaurant, 2nd floor.  Only newcomers and IETF leadership are invited and this is an informal gathering; there will be no speeches or presentations. Beer, wine, soda, and light appetizers will be provided. This special reception provides a valuable opportunity to mingle with WG chairs, mentors and other leaders before the meeting gets started.  If you are hoping to speak with a particular WG chair, you may want to check out our photo directory: https://datatracker.ietf.org/wg/photos/. The Meet-and-Greet will end promptly at 1700.  At that time, you are encouraged to attend the official IETF 97 Welcome Reception in the Grand Ballroom. 
> 
> ** Monday, November 13 **
> - Informal Newcomer’s Dinner (not subsidized) at a nearby local restaurant, exact location still to be determined. If you are interested in attending, please email Naveen Khan [e-mail] by 1400 on Monday. 
> 
> ** Thursday, November 15 **
> - Newcomers’ Feedback Session from 1800-1850, room still to be determined. What do you wish you’d know before you arrived? How can we make your next meeting easier? This is your opportunity to have a voice in how we help future newcomers get acclimated, so please come and give us your input! After this session, you are encouraged to enjoy the IETF Bits-N-Bites event in the Grand Ballroom.
