The American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) and the North American Network Operators Group (NANOG) are hosting a day of professional education and networking at an event called ARIN + NANOG on the Road Portland.

Spend the morning getting up to speed on the history of the Regional Registry System, Internet Governance, and ARIN technical services. Find out the latest about Internet number resource management – including IPv4 transfers and IPv6 adoption, and current ARIN policy developments. Then spend some time networking with fellow attendees over lunch.

Kick off the afternoon with tutorials from ARIN on RPKI, NANOG on DNSSEC, and additional NANOG educational content. NANOG will host a session on its role in the network operator community and ways to engage with and take part in its lively professional community of Internet engineers and architects. The day will conclude with an Open Microphone / Q&A session, followed by a networking Happy Hour where conversation can continue in a more relaxed setting.

Attendees who complete a short survey about the event will be eligible to win one of two $100 Amazon gift cards. Register today!
