Speed Networking

Folks at the show complain about early sessions. Well, if you want to stay ahead of the curve, then guess what? You need to be up early! You don't sleep in and expect to beat the other guy. So this early session is for early players that are willing to go the extra mile. You had your coffee, you are awake and ready to tackle the day; the famous TRAFFIC speed networking event is back by popular demand. Meet dozens of new associates early in the show in just under an hour. You can then follow up with those you need to during or after the show. Be sure to bring your business cards! This is worth the price of admission itself. We will have a seminar someday on "Folks I met at TRAFFIC speed networking events and ended up doing business with."

11:00AM

Seminar

To know where to go in the future, you have to look to the past. In that spirit, TRAFFIC is pleased to present a surprise speaker. Perhaps the most important person in our lives but only a few of us know him. Today we will change that.

Twenty years ago, Dr. Paul Mockapetris designed the Domain Name System (DNS), which allows users to enter names (such as www.ieee.org) instead of numeric network addresses to locate people and resources on the Internet. Today, the DNS is the Internet's database of Web and email addresses and is being embedded into new applications, such as ENUM for IP telephony. Dr. Mockapetris defined the DNS protocol and created its initial implementation.

Share an unforgettable experience with Dr. Mockapetris himself! You do NOT want to miss this!
