Internet Society 25th Anniversary – NYC Celebration Node + Lunch – Sep 19 2017

How time flies! A quarter of a century since the Internet Society was founded, just as the network emerged from it's NSF chrysalis to the wider world. But plenty of water under the bridge. And who knows where we might end up in the next quarter century. Well, ISOC has taken a shot at figuring that out, and it's findings will be in the Global Report mentioned below, which, along with the 4th Internet Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, will be the main features of InterCommunity 2017. This year in NYC we are doing ICOMM in style, with a lunch at the Cornell Club! Hope you can find time, and funds, to join us. Register at http://bit.ly/2gtUeVx (No admission without ticket!)
