The Event is organised by the European Commission and is sponsored and hosted by Telekom Austria under the auspices of the Austrian Presidency and with the support of the European IPv6 Task Force. After years of investment in the technology of IPv6 it is time to consider business aspects of its deployment. One of the highlights of the event will be the presentation of concrete IPv6 applications in various sectors, such as Automotive, Aeronautics, Defence, Research Networks, Media, and Consumer. At a time where Convergence is occurring both in the fix-mobile domain and in the Voice/Data/Video domain, this event will be the place where experts from industry will comment on the impact of this movement on IPv6 deployments. This conference will also be an occasion to learn about successful experiences in IPv6 convergence in China, Japan, South Africa, South Korea and the US. The event will be honoured by two keynote speakers: Brian Carpenter, Chairman of the IETF and Hiroshi Esaki, a pionneer of the Internet in Japan. A Gala dinner will take place at the prestigious Hofburg Palace on Thursday, June 1. We would very much welcome your participation and your contribution to the discussions during the event. Attendance to this event as well as to the Gala dinner is by invitation only. Please consider this as an official invitation from the IPv6 Convergence Organisation Committee.
