Guest Day Maastricht

IETF Guest Day

Join the Internet's Leading Engineers in Maastricht, the Netherlands!
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 40 countries.

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) will convene July 25 - 30
for IETF 78 at the MECC 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.

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.
