RIPE Event Sponsorship

A RIPE Meeting is a five day event where Internet service providers, network operators and other interested parties from Europe and the surrounding regions gather.

RIPE Meetings are scheduled throughout the year and several sponsorship opportunities are available.

RIPE Meeting Social Events

Social events are an important part of the RIPE Meetings. It gives the meeting attendees an opportunity to meet in an informal manner. Many new contacts can be made this way, so besides being fun, it can facilitate shared work in the future.

The social activities are sponsored. These activities are scheduled around the meeting sessions so that they not disturb the character of the RIPE Meeting.

RIPE Meeting sponsors have the opportunity to introduce themselves to meeting participants at the socials. These socials provide sponsors access to meeting attendees in a highly interactive atmosphere and give the sponsor an opportunity to highlight their organisation and services. We guarantee a memorable event!
