>> The IETF 114 meeting venue is at the Sheraton Philadelphia Downtown.  As explained in the FAQ, you will need to register before you can reserve a guest room at the venue.  A link to reserve a guest room will be sent to you after you register.  Booking a different hotel does not require you to register first.

For onsite participants, there will be an improved version of the Meetecho “Lite” app that provides contactless/paperless attendance recording (“blue sheets”), integrated onsite/remote queue management, chat integration and slide sharing features.

No, you can also use the “full” meetecho interface on your laptop. But you need to bring a device.

>> Payment is required at time of registration.  If you initiate but do not complete the registration process, you will need to start again.  If you require payment to be made by a 3rd party (e.g. internal accounting department) you have the option to forward your registration record to someone who can complete payment on your behalf.  You are not considered registered until payment is received.

>> # Remote participation fee waivers
>> 
>> We understand that not everyone can afford the IETF 114 remote registration fee for a variety of reasons and we do not want any of these to be a barrier to participation.  For that reason, we make an unlimited number of fee waivers available to remote participants and operate on a trust basis, making no checks on eligibility.  If you are planning to participate remotely and cannot afford the registration fee then please take the fee waiver option:

>>    https://www.ietf.org/forms/114-registration-fee-waiver/
>> 
>> 
>> # Cancellation and changing registration
>> 
>> If you register for onsite participation and wish to change to an online registration then you can cancel with a full refund and re-register.  If you wish to cancel your registration for any other reason then we will provide a full refund.  Please request any cancellations and refunds by contacting the Secretariat at [e-mail] before the cutoff time of UTC 23:59 2022-07-18.
>>

>> # COVID management
>> 
>> For now, we are continuing with the same approach as taken for IETF 113 — we are following the local rules, but requiring that all IETF participants declare that they are fully vaccinated.  However, we recognise that this is still a rapidly evolving situation and so will begin a consultation soon on whether our COVID management approach should change.  This consultation will complete in time for people who want to wait for the outcome, to still register within the Early Bird period.

>> # Meeting t-shirts
>> 
>> Thanks to the generosity of the IETF 114 meeting host, Comcast and NBC Universal, registered participants, both onsite and remote, have the option to receive a free t-shirt with free delivery or collection onsite.  Limited quantities are available on a first-come, first-served basis.
>> 
>> 
>> # Childcare
>> 
>> Thanks to the generosity of our Diversity & Inclusion sponsors, Cisco, Akamai, Huawei and Verisign, the IETF is offering limited onsite childcare, free to participants. Childcare services will be provided by Corporate Kids Events [4], a professional event childcare company. Participants with children ages 0-12 are invited to take advantage of this opportunity, with childcare available Saturday, 23 July through Friday 29, July during the meeting day.  More information on this will be sent out very soon.
