Every year I say it. This is the single best event that ISOC puts on. Developing peering and interconnections is at the very heart of what we do. Right now it's just about halfway through Day 2. Apologies for late notice but there was a fair amount of troubleshooting to do on the stream. I break the stream down into sessions at the end of day, so at least it is easy to catch up. <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/nsfmmwrcn4/> [image: livestream] <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/afpif2018>The *9th Africa Peering and Interconnection Forum <https://www.afpif.org/afpif2018/>*(AfPIF) takes place from *21-23 August, 2018* in *Capetown, South Africa*. The event, which this year is being held in conjunction with *iWeek <https://iweek.org.za/>*, discusses regional interconnection dynamics and content issues that are critical components of transit deficits. As a multi-stakeholder forum, AfPIF seeks to foster cross-border interconnection opportunities by ensuring that key players — infrastructure providers, Internet service providers (ISPs), IXPs, international financial institutions, and policy-makers and regulators are present at the event. The event is being streamed live via the *Internet Society livestream channel <http://new.livestream.com/internetsociety/afpif2018>*. Capetown time is UTC+2 thus 6 hours ahead of NYC. *What: Africa Peering and Interconnection Forum 2018 <https://www.afpif.org/afpif2018/>* *Where: Westin Hôtel, Capetown, South Africa* *When: 21-23 August, 2018* *Program: https://www.afpif.org/afpif2018/agenda/ <https://www.afpif.org/afpif2018/agenda/>* *Webcast: https://livestream.com/internetsociety/afpif2018/ <https://livestream.com/internetsociety/afpif2018/>* *Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ISOCAfrica/ <https://www.facebook.com/ISOCAfrica/>* *Twitter: #AfPIF2018 http://bit.ly/afpif2018 <http://bit.ly/afpif2018>* *Permalink* http://isoc-ny.org/p2/10464 -- --------------------------------------------------------------- Joly MacFie 218 565 9365 Skype:punkcast ---------------------------------------------------------------
