Studies have shown that peering relationships are established through handshake agreements. Unfortunately due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the peering community has been deprived of in person meetings where they establish and develop peering relationships. 

To overcome this challenge, the organisers of the Virtual Peering Series – Africa and the AfPIF program committee organized Virtual Beers for Peers to be held on 8 December 2020 from 13:00 – 14:30 UTC.

Agenda

• 13:00 – 13:15: Opening Session and “Peering Personals” presentations – moderated by Kyle Spencer
• From 13:15: Scheduled “Peering Bilaterals”
• From 13:15: Social networking (For those not interested in the “Peering Bilaterals”)

The social event was held on the “Gather Town” platform. Watch the short video to understand how to use Gather.town application.

Listen to the music played by DJ MT a.k.a Mark Tinka, Head of Engineering at SEACOM:
