The 2006 Internet Measurement Conference is a two and a half day event
focusing on Internet measurement and analysis, following on the
successes of five previous Internet Measurement Workshops and
Conferences.

The conference will be held in the Marina Palace Hotel located on
Leblon Beach in Leblon, one of the most traditional and charming parts
of Rio. The beautiful Ipanema and Copacabana beaches are also nearby.

The conference reception will be at Rio Scenarium - Culture Pavillion,
a 19th-century building located in the culturally rich Lapa District.
The conference banquet will be at Barra Brasa Rio, which is within
walking distance of the hotel.

IMPORTANT  NOTES
If you anticipate attending, you should book your hotel room ASAP
because other cultural events in Rio at the same time will make hotel
accommodations scarce..

Many attendees will need a visa to enter Brazil. Visas are required
for citizens of the USA, China, India, and others. Citizens of most
European countries do not require a visa.  Additional information as
well instructions for obtaining a visa can be found on the conference
website.
