Dear Joachim,
The attendance limit applies per organisation, not per ASN. This means that organisations with multiple ASNs connected to one or more host IXPs are still limited to a maximum of four representatives in total. Separate entities belonging to the same parent organisation may be treated as a single entity for capacity limits.
Thank you for your understanding.
Best regards,
Carolin

Hello Carolin,
I know that, but Vodafone Group (AS 1273) is a completely independent organisation / network than Vodafone Germany (AS3209).
Just added Niels from DE and Otto from Group, they can confirm that!
Thanks & BR
Joachim

Dear Carolin
I can also register as Vodafone employee (with Vodafone.com email) if this would be another option + paying the normal fee?!

Hi Joachim,
Thank you for reaching out.
The only way to attend EPF in Paris is as a sponsor. If you are interested in sponsoring the event, please find the sponsorship packages for this year's EPF attached.
At the moment, all sponsorship opportunities are still available, apart from the following packages:
Monday Lunch
Coffee Break
Sunday Social
Monday Social
Please feel free to review the available options and choose the package that best suits your preferences.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss the sponsorship opportunities, I'd be happy to help.
Kind regards,
Carolin

Dear EPF Team,
No problem, our company is mainly working in the peering and core areas of Vodafone, so we´d like to attend as well and are willing to pay the attendee fee since for Vodafone are no free seats available anymore. In the past we already had sponsorship at EPF (my former company was Uniberg).
If that works for you, please let me know.
Btw - I used DECIX, because we have a partner relationship with them so far - but no customer relationship.
Thanks & BR
Joachim

Dear Joachim,
Thank you for your interest in the European Peering Forum.
Unfortunately, your registration for the forum has been declined because your company is not currently listed in PeeringDB as peering at DE-CIX. Additionally, the ASN you provided belongs to Vodafone, and Vodafone has already reached the maximum limit of four attendees.
If you disagree with our decision, please send an email to info@peering-forum.eu.
We apologise for the inconvenience.
Best regards,
EPF Hosts
