IETF 77 registration now open – also includes day pass option

Jan.04, 2010 in

Registration for the 77th meeting of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is now open. The IETF 77 event will take place March 21-26 in Anaheim, California (home of Disneyland).

Sadly, it looks like I personally will be missing this IETF meeting as I’ll be across the continent in the other home of Disney, Orlando, for VoiceCon Orlando 2010. I somehow don’t think the cross-country travel will work that week. The good news, though, is that the timezone will be such that I will be able to participate remotely. Remote participation wasn’t really an option for me with the recent IETF 76 in Japan.

One interesting point in the email announcement was that the IETF is offering essentially a “day pass” again for people who either want to just see what IETF is all about or who only care about sessions happening on a particular day. Per the email, for $200 you get:

1. Attend all sessions during any one day of the Meeting, and partake of the food and beverage during the breaks
2. You select which day to attend when you show up onsite to check-in
3. Payments may be made onsite without a late fee
4. Pass can be upgraded to a full Meeting Registration, however, late fee may apply if initial one-day payment not made before Early Bird deadline
5. Attend Sunday Tutorials at no additional charge
6. Attend Sunday Welcome Reception at no additional charge
7. Attend Wednesday and Thursday Plenaries at no additional charge

Seems like a nice option if all you just want to go to a day of sessions.

In any event, more information and the registration form can be found in links from the IETF 77 meeting page.
