This is a reminder that you are encouraged to attend the Newcomers Meet-and-Greet from 1600-1700 today. This is a special reception for first-time attendees, WG Chairs, IESG members, IAB members and participants in the IETF Mentoring Program. It will be held on the Village Green area of the hotel, which is a triangular patch of lawn located between the Main Lobby, Ocean Crystal Chapel, and the Ali’l Tower. Beer, wine, soda, and light appetizers will be provided. 

This special reception is intended to provide newcomers with an opportunity to mingle informally with WG Chairs and other members of the IETF leadership so that they can get answers to questions they may have about the IETF before the meeting begins.  We encourage newcomers to take a look at the online WG Chair Directory if they are hoping to connect with a particular WG chair; if you have not yet submitted a photo for the directory, please feel free to send one to [email-masked]. 

As usual, we will have signs for each IETF Area (Applications, Internet, Routing, etc.) on tables throughout the room (one table per area) so that attendees can gather in their area of interest and/or expertise and hopefully find each other more readily.  We will have also have a designated area for mentors and program participants to meet. 

The Meet-and-Greet will end promptly at 1700 so that attendees can migrate to the nearby Great Lawn for the official IETF Welcome Reception. A detailed map of the property can be found here: http://origin.hiltonhawaiianvillage.com/assets/files/resort-map.pdf. 

Regards,
Alexa
