why should you join

BCIX is the leading Internet eXchange Point in eastern Germany, located in Berlin. We will celebrate the 20th and 10th birthdays of BCIX e.V. and the BCIX Management GmbH.

This event is the perfect opportunity to meet people who care about the Internet, foster Internet connectivity in Berlin and neighboring regions, and get cutting-edge background on what drives the Internet.

If you have any questions, you can contact the organizers via events@bcix.de.

what is an IXP

An IXP is a public platform where you can exchange Internet traffic. It provides an infrastructure to easily connect to cloud providers, carriers, CDNs, web platforms, or any company that operates an autonomous system.

If your business relies on Internet connectivity but you never heard about IXPs, the BCIX anniversary might be a good chance to get involved.
