Registration open for IETF 114

[IETF Executive Director <[e-mail]>]

IETF 114
Philadelphia and online
July 23-29, 2022
Hosted by Comcast NBC Universal

I am pleased to announce that registration is now open for IETF 114 and the preceding IETF Hackathon:

    https://registration.ietf.org 

IETF 114 will be a 7-day hybrid meeting on 23-29 July.  Agenda details for the IETF 114 meeting will be published on 24 June.  The IETF Hackathon [1] will be held 23-24 July.  Thanks to our host Comcast NBC Universal, we will have an awesome social event on the evening of 26 July [2].

As this is only our second hybrid meeting, you may wish to consult our detailed FAQ that aims to answer the main questions about travel, registrations, hotel bookings and the mechanics of onsite participation:

    https://www.ietf.org/how/meetings/114/faq/ 

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.

All participants, both onsite and remote, will need to use our remote participation service, Meetecho, in order to participate in IETF 114. 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.

All IETF 114 participants will need an IETF Datatracker account in order to authenticate with Meetecho.  You can create a Datatracker account before registration [2] or as part of the registration process.

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.
