Dear colleagues, We want to help people who can't join the next RIPE Meeting in person to participate in a more engaging way. Would you like to set up a space for participants to meet in your city? If yes, organise a Local Hub! Local Hubs are in-person gatherings that take place in parallel to the RIPE Meeting. They allow registered participants to watch the webcast of the RIPE Meeting, follow the discussions and participate online via chat, audio, or video. Best of all, they can network with other community members from their country, experience the community spirit, and discuss topics from a local perspective. If you'd like to host one, you can also expand the programme to hold additional debates around topics of the RIPE Meeting of particular interest to the local participants. You can find more information at: https://ripe87.ripe.net/attend/call-for-local-hubs/ While you can decide to host a Local Hub at any time, if you let us know by Sunday, 5 November 2023, we will be able to add your Local Hub to a list online and provide you with more technical information promotion and support. We are looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Gergana -- Gergana Petrova Community Development Manager RIPE NCC
