In the last year the Internet Society has expanded its Asia presence, opening an office in Singapore. That office has then set about further engaging the community, and INET Bangkok is just one example of that. Thailand has been a longstanding member of the ISOC family with a chapter established in 1996, and the .th domain is currently celebrating its 25th anniversary. The first INET Bangkok event, the VIP Gala dinner, marks that milestone. It starts in a few minutes. There may or may not be a webcast of that. The conference proper starts tomorrow, i.e. tonight in NYC, and Paul Brigner of ISOC's North America Bureau has travelled over with his kit, so we can hope for some of the glorious HD for which he is known. I expect their will be live transcription and translation, but I am yet to establish links. Keep an eye on twitter or the noticeboard. ** joly posted: "On 7-8 June 2013 in collaboration with the Thailand Internet community, the National Science & Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) and the Ministry of Information & Communication Technology (MICT), the Internet Society is hosting the INET Bangko" [image: INET Bangkok] <http://www.internetsociety.org/inet-bangkok/>On 7-8 June 2013 in collaboration with the Thailand Internet community, the National Science & Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) and the Ministry of Information & Communication Technology (MICT), the Internet Society is hosting the INET Bangkok <http://www.internetsociety.org/inet-bangkok/>, with a conference theme of “Internet: The Power to Create.” The multitrack program will focus attention on how the Internet can become a positive and productive force in society through innovative and new applications.
