Hello All: We eased ourselves into the ARIN conference yesterday by attending the Newcomer Orientation (https://www.arin.net/vault/participate/meetings/reports/ARIN_38/PDF/PPM/newc...) but only after catching the last 20 minutes of the NANOG 68 Keynote by Vint Cerf on IoT. This ARIN conference overlapped with NANOG and DNS-OARC events. I suggest in future we should take advantage of this overlap:-). It is great to meet Alfredo Calderon-Serrano with ISOC Puerto Rico Chapter sharing and exchanging ideas. Also got to meet with the Tanzania ISOC Chapter. Much interest from Jamaica, Nigeria & Barbados Fellows. We later socialized and networked at the Happy Hour event sponsored by ARIN & DE-CIX see pics. -- Leah Symekher SFBay AREA ISOC Chapter, President/Chair
