Sorry for spamming, but I found this an amusing coincidence(?):

On 21 March (Wednesday during IETF week), the EU Next Generation
Internet initiative will hold an event in London.  It overlaps a little
with the IETF Plenary, but maybe some of you want to "discuss how we can
build new alternatives for a more democratic future internet[sic] at an
evening event on the 21st March 2018".

Here's a slightly de-trackered URL for the registration page:

Have fun! (I won't make it to IETF in person myself.)

------------------------------------------------------------

When: Wednesday 21/03/2018 | 6:30 pm – 9:00 pm
Where: Nesta - 58 Victoria Embankment, London EC4Y

Let’s discuss how we can build new alternatives for a more democratic future internet at an evening event on the 21st March 2018.

Reimagining the Internet, the first event in a series of discussions on how European citizens can retake control over the future of the internet, will take place in London on Wednesday 21st March. Registration will open at 17:30 with the event starting promptly at 18:00. The event finishes at 19:30 and will be followed by networking drinks until 20:00.

The aim of this event is to discuss the existing internet dynamics and the alternatives that would enable citizens to build a more human-centric, accountable and inclusive internet. Questions such as “Could Europe build the kind of alternatives that would put citizens back in the driver’s seat?” and “What would it mean to build a human-centric internet?” will be addressed.

This event brings together policymakers, civil society leaders, innovators, activists and everyone else involved with shaping and thinking about the future of the internet.
