Re: [epf-orga] EPF 2026 - registration declined
by Holly Ruff
They get 50 guest tickets and would let him in if he had an organisation being an Interconnection manager
But I question who he will be representing, he cant just have a blank badge?
I say he can come, he just needs a company name with an ASN.
Best wishes,
Holly

Hi Girls,
I hope you are doing well 😊
Could you approve Youssef Bengelloun-Zahr‘s registration. He has been declined (here is attached his mail).
He had actually registered some time ago whilst working for his previous employer, but he is no longer with that company.
He is a partner of ours and we would like him to attend the event and be included on our guest list.
Thank you for your help 😉
Have a nice day,

Hello all,
Emanuel Arnoud has provided further details showing that he is involved in several peering-related projects at Colt. Based on his description, there is a reasonable argument that his actual role is relevant to EPF, even if his job title does not explicitly reflect a peering function.
Question :
Do we consider his actual responsibilities sufficient to meet the EPF 2026 participation criteria and allow him to attend, or do we maintain the current decision based on the revised criteria?
If we maintain the decision, we should avoid discussing individual cases or comparing him with other participants.
Any thoughts?
Best regards,
Caro

Hi Carolin,
As much as I understand there are participation criteria, they might not just apply to a job title but more to a role.
There are several projects I'm involved in which are not related to my job title, but they are part of my role as I'm an ex Lumen EMEA. Let me give you couple examples:
* Colt has recently deployed additional IP infrastructures in Porto, I need to make sure we have a path to grow with our peers locally.
* Colt is deploying new IP infrastructures in Athens, and I need to make sure we anticipate adequate peering setup locally.
* Colt plans to leverage the former Lumen IP infrastructures in Johannesburg to trigger new business activities, I need to make sure our legacy peering setup can support it and potentially discuss upgrades.
Whatever your decision is we will respect it 100%, however looking at some participants below, I'm surprised to see those same criteria were not applied, unless I'm missing something...

Emmanuel

Dear Bettina,
Thank you for the clarification and for the additional context regarding Emmanuel’s role.
We certainly understand the relevance of his Business Development responsibilities and the potential value of engaging with Internet Exchanges in the context of new PoPs and market expansion.
However, the EPF has specific participation criteria, and unfortunately Emmanuel’s current role does not meet the criteria for participation. Therefore, we would not be able to approve his attendance at this stage.
We very much appreciate your understanding, and thank you again for reaching out and for providing the additional information.

Hi Carolin,
I double checked with Emmanuel and he is in fact in charge of Business Development, looking for partnerships to open new PoPs in new markets. The EPF provides an excellent forum for discussions with Internet Exchanges, for a mutual benefit, so we feel he’s the right person to join. I put him in copy for any specific questions you may have.

Hi Bettina,
Thanks for letting us know.
We noticed that Emmanuel’s current job title is Regional Sales Director, Strategic Alliances.
In this context, we would like to refer to our attendee policy for EPF:
“The EPF is a networking event for the peering community, not a commercial event. As such, any commercial/sales personnel from the participating networks are discouraged from registering.”
We therefore wanted to flag this and kindly ask you to consider whether Emmanuel’s role is in line with the attendee policy.
Thanks very much for your understanding and cooperation.

Hi Bettina,
I hope you are doing well.
We already have four registrations from Colt, which is the maximum number of registrations we allow per network/company:
Simon Barlow
Ankit Gupta
Marjorie Roos
Mark Borchardt
We are still awaiting payment from Marjorie and Mark. They have already received the necessary payment instructions.
As we have reached the maximum number of registrations for Colt, splitting or sharing passes is unfortunately not an option. We kindly ask for your understanding that we need to apply this rule consistently and cannot make an exception in this case.
Thank you for your understanding, and please let us know if you have any questions.

Hi EPF Team,
please disregard my registration! I was just trying to figure out how invoicing will be done since two of my Colt colleagues are already registered and I was hoping to get to a page specifying payment terms once I’ve entered my contact info. In fact we are looking into purchasing one or two additional tickets for my colleagues in Paris. Can you please advise on these points:
* Which organization will issue the invoice?
* What are the payment terms / timelines?
* Can we pay via wire transfer?
* Is it possible to split a pass by having one colleague attending the first two days and another one on the last day?
Many thanks and warm regards

Looking at the attendee list, we have not been consistent with approvals/rejections based on job titles.
I would agree to let him in this year.
But we need to discuss the attendee policy and approval process for next year. It would be easier for the one handling registration (in this case, you) to have a clear guide so we can minimize the checks and debates for individual cases.

We are still awaiting payment from Marjorie and Mark. They have already received the necessary payment instructions.
As we have reached the maximum number of registrations for Colt, splitting or sharing passes is unfortunately not an option. We kindly ask for your understanding that we need to apply this rule consistently and cannot make an exception in this case.
Thank you for your understanding, and please let us know if you have any questions.
Best regards,

Hi EPF Team,
please disregard my registration! I was just trying to figure out how invoicing will be done since two of my Colt colleagues are already registered and I was hoping to get to a page specifying payment terms once I’ve entered my contact info. In fact we are looking into purchasing one or two additional tickets for my colleagues in Paris. Can you please advise on these points:
* Which organization will issue the invoice?
* What are the payment terms / timelines?
* Can we pay via wire transfer?
* Is it possible to split a pass by having one colleague attending the first two days and another one on the last day?
Many thanks and warm regards
Bettina

Re: [epf-orga] Thank you for registering for EPF 2026
by Carolin Geib
Hello all,
Emanuel Arnoud has provided further details showing that he is involved in
several peering-related projects at Colt. Based on his description, there is
a reasonable argument that his actual role is relevant to EPF, even if his
job title does not explicitly reflect a peering function.
Question :
Do we consider his actual responsibilities sufficient to meet the EPF 2026
participation criteria and allow him to attend, or do we maintain the
current decision based on the revised criteria?
If we maintain the decision, we should avoid discussing individual cases or
comparing him with other participants.
Any thoughts?
Best regards,
Caro

Hi Carolin,
As much as I understand there are participation criteria, they might not
just apply to a job title but more to a role.
There are several projects I'm involved in which are not related to my job
title, but they are part of my role as I'm an ex Lumen EMEA. Let me give you
couple examples:
* Colt has recently deployed additional IP infrastructures in Porto, I
need to make sure we have a path to grow with our peers locally.
* Colt is deploying new IP infrastructures in Athens, and I need to
make sure we anticipate adequate peering setup locally.
* Colt plans to leverage the former Lumen IP infrastructures in
Johannesburg to trigger new business activities, I need to make sure our
legacy peering setup can support it and potentially discuss upgrades.
Whatever your decision is we will respect it 100%, however looking at some
participants below, I'm surprised to see those same criteria were not
applied, unless I'm missing something...

Emmanuel

Dear Bettina,
Thank you for the clarification and for the additional context regarding
Emmanuels role.
We certainly understand the relevance of his Business Development
responsibilities and the potential value of engaging with Internet Exchanges
in the context of new PoPs and market expansion.
However, the EPF has specific participation criteria, and unfortunately
Emmanuels current role does not meet the criteria for participation.
Therefore, we would not be able to approve his attendance at this stage.
We very much appreciate your understanding, and thank you again for reaching
out and for providing the additional information.
Best regards,

Hi Carolin,
I double checked with Emmanuel and he is in fact in charge of Business
Development, looking for partnerships to open new PoPs in new markets. The
EPF provides an excellent forum for discussions with Internet Exchanges, for
a mutual benefit, so we feel hes the right person to join. I put him in
copy for any specific questions you may have.

Hi Bettina,
Thanks for letting us know.
We noticed that Emmanuels current job title is Regional Sales Director,
Strategic Alliances.
In this context, we would like to refer to our attendee policy for EPF:
The EPF is a networking event for the peering community, not a commercial
event. As such, any commercial/sales personnel from the participating
networks are discouraged from registering.
We therefore wanted to flag this and kindly ask you to consider whether
Emmanuels role is in line with the attendee policy.
Thanks very much for your understanding and cooperation.

Dear Wojciech,
Thank you for your message and for explaining the reasons behind your
request. We certainly appreciate Salumanus' contribution to this year's EPF
programme and understand that you would like to support Marcin and take part
in the discussions with the industry.
For EPF, however, we have adjusted the participation rules and are applying
them consistently. While we appreciate your involvement and your previous
participation in EPF, we are unfortunately not able to make an exception in
this case.
We kindly ask for your understanding and acceptance of the updated rules for

Dear EPF Hosts,
I understand the participation criteria. However, I would kindly ask you to
reconsider my registration.
Salumanus CTO, Marcin Bała, will be a speaker at EPF 2026, and I planned to
join him as the company's business representative. Salumanus has also
attended previous EPF editions with a broader representation.
My participation would allow me to support Marcin during the event and take
part in meetings with operators, IXPs and other industry partners.
Considering our active contribution to this year's programme, I would
appreciate it if an exception could be made.
Thank you for reconsidering my application.

Re: [epf-orga] EPF speakers and agenda
by Julia Lechien
Thanks, Arnold,
We’re placing QR codes linking to the EPF agenda<https://peering-forum.eu/2026/agenda/> on several printed items, including the badges, and these have already been sent to production.
I’m also not sure that splitting the event information across two different interfaces would be the best user experience.
That said, you do have a point: since the Program Committee owns the program, it makes sense for them to be able to add and update the content directly.
For now, I’ve replicated the agenda and added the speakers as well. Maybe we can keep it this way for this year and agree on a different approach afterwards?

There you find also all the information. IMO, it would be the easiest to

presentations if needed which is in line of orga's wish that PC is
responsible for the presentations.
We will chase those speakers who didn't yet provide a photo.
Thoughts?
