Dear colleagues, We want to help people who can’t physically join a RIPE Meeting to participate remotely and in a more engaging way. Do you want to facilitate a space for them to meet in your city? If yes, organise a Local Hub! Local Hubs are in-person gatherings that run alongside the RIPE Meeting. They give registered participants the chance to: - Watch the webcast of the RIPE Meeting - Follow discussions and take part remotely via chat, audio, or video - Connect face-to-face with other community members locally - Share perspectives, ideas, and discussions rooted in their local context As a host, you can also tailor the experience by adding local discussions or debates around RIPE Meeting topics that matter most to your community. Interested? You can find all the details at: https://ripe93.ripe.net/attend/local-hubs/ Local Hubs can be organised at any time, but if you let us know by Monday, 14 September 2026, we’ll be able to feature your Local Hub on the RIPE 93 website and provide additional technical information, promotion, and support. We are looking forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Gergana --- Gergana Petrova Community Development RIPE NCC
