RIPE 52 Information for Newcomers

RIPE Meetings provide an opportunity for the RIPE community to come together face-to-face and exchange information.

Newcomers Introduction Talk

For those who are new to a RIPE Meeting, there will be a Newcomers’ Introduction Talk. The Chair of RIPE and a RIPE NCC staff member will present an overview of RIPE and the RIPE NCC, and explain how the RIPE Meetings are structured.
