LACNIC is pleased to invite sponsors to support its annual meeting LACNIC XI to be held in the city of Salvador, Bahía, Brazil from May 26th to 30th, 2008.

 Description of the Event

LACNIC meeting is the event that takes place annually in different cities of the Latin America and the Caribbean region. Within the framework of this meeting, several activities take place, such as: Technical Training workshops, the Regional Interconnection Forum, the Network Security Event for Latin America and the Caribbean, the Latin American IPv6 Forum, the Annual Members’ Assembly and the Public Policy Forum. Additionally, other regional organisations such as LACTLD (the association of ccTLDs of the region) and the regional Internet Society Chapter will take part in the meeting, participating in common activities as well as having their own meetings.

The target audience is extremely broad, including among others, Internet service providers, regulatory bodies, academic networks, ccTLD operators, NAP operators, civil society representatives and professionals from the telecommunications industry in general.

The last LACNIC meeting held in Isla Margarita, Venezuela in 2007, had 325 attendees from 30 countries from Latin America and the Caribbean as well as from outside the region. For this reason, this is a unique opportunity to reach this important audience.

As a not-for-profit organization, LACNIC depends on its sponsors contributions to hold these meetings. Through their contributions, we reduce delegate participation costs. This enables the widest range of members from the regional community to attend these important meetings.
