The global IXP Manager community has helped shape internet infrastructure in local communities around the world — and now we’d love to hear your story.
At INEX, we’re incredibly proud of the role IXP Manager plays as an open-source platform supporting IXPs globally. Every community has faced unique challenges, found creative solutions, and built something meaningful for local networks and users.
As part of INEX’s upcoming 30th anniversary celebrations, we’re launching an IXP Manager Community Spotlight to showcase the people, experiences, and moments behind these journeys.
We’d love to hear:
• Funny or memorable stories
• Challenges and breakthroughs
• How your IXP evolved over time
• The people who shaped your journey
• Photos or short videos that bring your story to life
Share your story by emailing patricia@inex.ie or filling in this short survey https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/yourIXPMstory
Selected stories will be featured across IXP Manager and INEX channels, highlighting how community-driven infrastructure helps IXPs keep traffic local, improve resilience, reduce costs, and grow local expertise worldwide.
One standout submission may also receive sponsored travel to Dublin to join INEX’s 30th anniversary celebrations on 17 September 2026.
We look forward to hearing your story.
