[ripe-list] RIPE 78 Highlights - Day 1

Dear colleagues,

RIPE 78 kicked off in Reykjavík yesterday with 597 attendees checked in 
from 58 countries, of whom 163 are attending their first RIPE Meeting.

The meeting programme featured tutorials and the Newcomer's Intro in the 
morning, followed by a full-day of plenary presentations. At the end of 
the day, attendees gathered for a RIPE 'Big Picture' BoF to exchange 
ideas about what kind of RIPE Meeting we should work on building. Then 
everyone gathered in the hotel for the first social of the night, the 
RIPE 78 Welcome Reception.

The highlights of the day are online:

Today's sessions have already begun with another full day of plenary 
presentations. The Women in Tech Session runs from 13:00-14:00 and 
features a fantastic panel discussing women's rights in Iceland and the 
ever-persisting gender pay gap.

If you can't be here in person, you can participate remotely:
