Coming this March, we invite an expert on the state of the Internet -- David Belson -- to share some data and insights from his work at Cloudflare.

**Agenda**

* 4:30 pm: Arrive & networking
* 5:00 pm: Talk starts
* 5:45 pm: Networking & Pizza

**The Talk**
Cloudflare Radar provides a near-real time perspective on the state of the Internet, based on data exhaust from Cloudflare’s services. Join us to learn more about the datasets available in Radar, how you can use it as a troubleshooting tool, and how you can incorporate Radar data into your own web sites and applications.

**Speaker**
David Belson is Head of Data Insight at Cloudflare, with Product Management responsibility for Cloudflare Radar ([radar.cloudflare.com](http://radar.cloudflare.com/)) and editorial responsibility for the Cloudflare blog ([blog.cloudflare.com](http://blog.cloudflare.com/)).

He has spent thirty years in the Internet infrastructure space, working for content delivery networks, cloud platforms, and web hosting providers. Over the last seventeen years, he has been focused on generating thought leadership and earned media coverage based on Internet measurement and monitoring data, with a special focus on Internet disruptions.

**Location**

* The meetup will be held on the 18th floor of Akamai's headquarters at 145 Broadway, Kendall Square in Cambridge, MA. It's a short walk from the MIT/Kendall Red Line T stop, or via the EZRide from North Station.
* There is no parking on site, and limited street parking, so consider using public transport or biking.
* You will need a Photo ID to attend this meetup, and the name on your ID should match the name you use to register on meetup.com.

**RSVPs**
Please RSVP by March 24th so that we can get a list to the security desk. For any questions regarding the requirements, please contact the organizers.
