Used by billions, the Internet is now everywhere. From its early days as an academic research project in the 1960s to becoming a commercial network in the 1990s, today, life without it is unthinkable.
Yet the Internet is full of paradoxes – no one owns it and it operates as a large cooperative project across borders. So how do we actually keep it running?
Join us for a chance to hear from our speakers, all of whom have contributed to the apparently seamless operation of the Internet for many years.
Ahead of RIPE 88, Mirjam Kühne (RIPE Chair), will talk about how you can benefit from connecting with the networking community, and how to make the most out of RIPE Meetings, one of the longest running events for network operators.
Although primarily targeted at undergraduate students, this event is open to everyone. We will also set aside a limited number of free student tickets for the RIPE 88 meeting in Krakow (May 20 – 24). Tickets will be awarded on a first-come-first-served basis.
