Dear Philippe, I hope you are doing well. Thank you for your email. You are correct—you are a customer of DE-CIX. For EPF, all four organizing hosts have agreed to adhere strictly to our policy regarding attendance, due to limited capacity. As a result, we are unfortunately unable to make exceptions as we may have done in previous years. According to the policy, organizations that are peering at any of the four host IXPs and/or the guest IXP are welcome to send up to two participants to EPF free of charge, provided they have a valid PeeringDB entry. Thank you for your understanding.

I know that because of some trouble with our DirectCloud offer in the past, we are benefiting of a special price but I didn’t think you would reject our attendance. I hope that knowing this will help to restore the invitation we had.

Unfortunately, your registration for the forum has been declined because Upon re-examining your registration, we have determined that the information submitted was inaccurate. Consequently, we regret to inform you that your participation in the EPF has been cancelled. You are not present at any of the four EPF host IXPs and/or the guest IXP. If your company has concrete deployment plans at one of the host exchanges you are also welcome to attend EPF. Please verify.
