  Dear colleagues,

	• Are you a manager or network engineer who runs an IXP and want to ensure that you set up and run an IXP according to international best practices in an economically sustainable manner?
	• Are you a government regulator or policymaker who needs to understand how governments can best support the IXP through smart policies and targeted investments?
	• Are you a peering manager or coordinator for a network operator and want to understand how your network could create and capture more value for your customers through the IXP?
 
If you answered yes to any of the questions above, you will be interested in our next webinar on How to Run an Effective Self-Sustaining IXP. This is especially important because as governments and network operators strive to generate more value using the Internet for citizens and customers, IXPs are emerging as a critical piece of the puzzle primarily because when properly set up and run they keep local traffic local.
