1. What is a RIPE NCC Regional Meeting?
The RIPE NCC Regional Meetings provide a forum for RIPE NCC members,
local governments, key players in the local and global Internet industry
and RIPE NCC staff to discuss Internet issues relevant to a specific region.
Find out more about Regional Meetings.
2. Why are Regional Meetings held?
Regional Meetings help the RIPE NCC learn about the issues that affect
its members and industry organisations in a particular geographical region
and gain valuable feedback about its services and activities. In
addition to the discussion of important local issues, attendees are shown
how they can influence the RIPE Policy Development
Process and the RIPE NCC’s activities, as well as how they can
take part in RIPE Working Groups.
3. Where are Regional Meetings held?
Regional Meetings can be held anywhere in the RIPE
NCC Service Region. Previous meetings have been held in Russia, the
Middle East and Africa. If you think a Regional Meeting should be held
in your region, contact: contact@ripe.net.

Anyone can attend a Regional Meeting. You do not have to be a RIPE NCC
member to attend. However, you must register online prior to the meeting.
5. How much does it cost to attend a Regional
Meeting?
Regional Meetings are free of charge. However, attendees are responsible
for their own travel and accommodation costs.
6. What can I expect from a Regional Meeting?
The meeting agenda usually includes:
- Presentations on local/regional Internet issues
