Hi all, Yet another mail from your friendly neighbourhood chair: At the Internet Research 9.0 conference, we have pre-booked a number of smaller meeting rooms where people can meet up during the conference for a) BOFs (Bird of a Feather) - interest group meet-ups b) meetings with colleagues that you might as well have while you're in the same geographical place
From Wednesday Oct 15th and for the duration of the conference, it will be possible for you yourself onsite to book these meeting rooms at a first come, first serve basis at the ITU reception desk (located right across from the conference registration desk) - we believe in the power of self-organisation! The nice plp in reception are happy to help out (they can also tell you how many people the rooms can hold).
Furthermore, we'll gladly help you announce the BOF's on the assigned infowall at the registration desk and at appropriate occasions, so please let me know if you want to head a BOF meet-up, on which topic, which day and when. Once you have booked a room and have a set time for your BOF, based on previous experience, I think advertising BOF's on this list, is normally quite effective. Another place to advertise them is on the Facebook group for the conference, which has quite a few members: http://www.facebook.com/groups.php?id=505511345#/group.php?gid=23669370880 and other social media sites of course. (ps. have already heard from a few of you, following mail to registrants, your wishes have been taken ad notam!) best Liz Klastrup
