Information for Newcomers
We want you to have a productive and enjoyable experience at your first RIPE Meeting.
Once you pick up your meeting pack and badge, please visit the Meet & Greet Team. You’ll find us near the Registration Desk.
We’re on hand to explain the meeting format and answer your questions about RIPE, the RIPE Meeting and the RIPE NCC.
We can help you make an appointment with RIPE NCC IP Resource Analysts and billing experts in the RIPE NCC Services Centre to discuss issues that may be of interest to you, including the RIPE NCC’s registration services and procedures. We can also introduce you to key players from the RIPE community.
We’re around throughout RIPE 62 and if you have any questions before or during the meeting, please do get in touch with us via meet-greet [at] ripe [dot] net.
