Coffee, Tea, and Informal Networking. Networking on Opening Day is always relaxed and everyone typically has some time for meetings. This is always an excellent opportunity to set up meetings and do some business before the conference gets into full swing. Don’t come late and miss out on the opportunities! We have a full agenda, particularly within the ccTLD and Networking arenas and we have decided that the best conference for these two things is a smaller venue. |
