Join us in Atlanta for our first Interim Member Meeting in 2025!  

The Interim Meeting will focus on cross-project work, planning, and coordination. The new topic oriented sessions will combine committees in sessions designed to allow members to contribute to the projects related to their business.

Activities for the Week

Tuesday, 11 February the Opening Plenary will cover MEF plans for 2025, the new MEF membership model, certification and committee updates.  The plenary will be followed by combined committee sessions to discuss details on cross-committee topics (projects that affect work in other committees), certification planning, and rules and procedures updates.

Wednesday, 12 February and Thursday, 13 February will have two tracks each of which will facilitate detailed discussions between two committees on continuity of work between them in different areas including NaaS, cybersecurity, L1-L3 connectivity and LSO automation.

Each committee will provide readouts in the Closing Plenary midday Thursday on the progress of work during the course of the members meeting.

As MEF continues to progress our important industry work, the Interim Member Meeting will center around three key areas:

• Re-orienting member work around topic areas rather than siloing them in each committee
• Maximizing coordination between committees on work that can impact other committees' work
• Identifying where gaps exist and need to be addressed in the 'development lifecycle' of a given work area

• Committee chairs, project leaders, top subject matter experts and MEF executive staff
