LACNIC's event, which is held twice a year in different parts of the region, brings together different stakeholders of the Internet Ecosystem of Latin America and the Caribbean. The 28th edition, to be held from September 18 to 22 in Montevideo, will feature an agenda rich in diversity of proposals, including a panel on the implementation of the Internet of Things - IoT and another on the Future of the Internet: Digital Divide, among others. There will also be meetings of CSIRTs - Security Incident Response Teams - from the region and different tutorials to train those interested in IPv6 and other technologies. Through the different activities, the impact of the Information Society in Latin America and the Caribbean will be analyzed, as well as the status of the Internet of Things or IoT in the region and the future of the Internet.
It is worth mentioning that LACNIC is celebrating its 15th anniversary and that is why it is taking advantage of the LACNIC28 meeting to celebrate its trajectory together with global leaders and key players of the region's Internet community.
On the other hand, as in previous editions, LACNOG 2017, the Latin American and Caribbean Network Operators Forum, will be held within the same framework. It is characterized by the exchange of information and technical experiences among the actors of the region.
In addition, on September 23 and 24, the Hackathon Montevideo will be held, organized by LACNIC in collaboration with AGESIC, Uruguay's Agency for the Development of the Government of Electronic Management and the Information and Knowledge Society. The objective of the event is for network operators to work with programmers and other users in the development of novel tools.
