A Social Event will be held on the evening of Tuesday, November 10 at the Grand Prince Hotel Hiroshima overlooking the Seto Inland Sea. Social Event Registration is available on the IETF76 meeting site at a fee of 40 USD/person. Children and spouses are welcome. Participants are limited to 600 due to venue space restrictions. As such we recommend you register in advance. Transportation will be provided by bus from the ANA. Return transportation will be provided by bus from the Prince to the ANA and other IETF overflow hotels.
The Social will introduce you to the cuisine, culture and hospitality of the Hiroshima area giving you an opportunity to experience making okonomiyaki, tasting "sake" from the famous Saijo Sake Breweries, participating in a traditional tea ceremony and experiencing performances of several traditional Japanese groups from the local area.
Performances include "taiko" drummers and an introduction to the traditional Japanese "koto" (a harp-like instrument). Attendees will also be able to learn the art of "origami" (paper folding) and given the opportunity to fold a traditional paper crane.
The local host will provide IPv6 Internet connectivity to the venue and some of the IETF hotels. For those who still need IPv4 connectivity, we will provide IPv4 connectivity as well. The details will be announced as soon as fixed. The network provided at the venue is Wireless (802.11a/n and 802.11b/g). Wired access is provided in the terminal rooms. IETF76 network has a router in Osaka which has access to two IXs (NSPIXP-3 and JPNAP/Osaka) so that we may have dual stack peering with ISPs there. We also have a peer with SINET, a Japanese educational network, so that it can provide better connectivity with many institutions connected to R&E networks.

There are two terminal rooms in IETF76 venue, ANA Crowneplaza Hotel Hiroshima. Both are in 4F. To get access one of the terminal rooms, please use stairs north-east corner of 3F Foyer to avoid extra wait time (and reduce congestion of) elevators.
One of the terminal rooms is "Matsu", which opens 24x7 basis but it is a small room. The other terminal room is "Wedding Hall", which is located near to the stairs from 3F. It opens 8am through 8pm. They are available from Sunday noon through Friday noon ("Matsu" terminal room will be available by 3:30pm of Friday). The hotel requested us "STRICTLY ENFORCE NO-FOOD NO-DRINK POLICY" especially in "Wedding Hall" room as it is usually used for a temple in Shinto-style wedding ceremony. While it is partitioned into two, there is an altar beyond the wall. So this policy prevent you from incuring divine punishment.
In the terminal room, wireless and wired network access is provided. Help desk is available in "Wedding Hall" terminal room while it opens.
There are two IPv6-capable Ricoh IPSiO printers which accept postscript documents. They are accessible through IPv4 as well. Any letter size printing requests result in printing in A4 papers. The FQDN of the printers are printer1.meeting.ietf.org and printer2.meeting.ietf.org.
