Re: [DC3] IEEE/World Bank event

April 20? I need to learn more ASAP because I was about to sign up for an event in California April 19-21st that has a deadline of today. But from my experience these events are set pieces rather than places to effect real change. And given the current policy climate … I see some of the usual suspects on the list from last year – is it a good opportunity for effective hall conversations? It’s really about the networking and conversations rather than the presentations. That’s what made IGF so valuable – meeting the others on this list. I have toyed with working with ISOC on organizing a workshop on connectivity as infrastructure but not sure if I can do any better. Having real deployments speaks a lot louder.

The IEEE and the world bank hold this event twice a year timed with the fall and spring world bank/imf meetings. This year the meetings are April 20. I do not think the announcement is out yet about the April meeting. I will be attending. I have attended the two previous events Best, Judith Sent from my iPad Judith(a)jhellerstein.com <mailto:Judith@jhellerstein.com> Skype ID: judithhellerstein On Feb 17, 2017, at 7:12 AM, Michael Oghia &lt;mike.oghia(a)gmail.com <mailto:mike.oghia@gmail.com> > wrote: Hi everyone, Is anyone planning on attending this (including you Bob)?
