IETF Guest Day

Join the Internet's Leading Engineers in Prague! Experience first
hand the Internet standards process and meet the world's leading
Internet engineers, developers and researchers. We expect 1,200
attendees from more than 60 countries.

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) will convene July 19 - 24
for IETF 93 at the Prague Hilton and you are invited!

The IETF is the premiere international open-standards community and
is responsible for many of the Internet's most important standards,
including TCP/IP, e-mail, instant messaging, VoIP, 3G and IPv6.  Its
work is concerned with the evolution of the Internet's architecture
and its smooth operation.  To learn more see:
<https://www.ietf.org/newcomers.html>

The IETF is unique from other standards groups in that it is a
volunteer organization, lead by individuals, not governments or
corporations.  The IETF's processes are open to all and decisions
are made on the basis of "rough consensus and running code."   If
you are doing research in networking or communications, this is one
event you don't want to miss.

The IETF meets three times a year face-to-face to progress its work
of Internet Standards development for the betterment of the Internet
and people worldwide.
