Annual Meeting 2025

The UK IPv6 Council held its annual meeting at BT Tower, London, on 18th November 2025.

And the BT Tower infobanner changed to tell London that IPv6 is the evolution of the Internet.

Thanks to Fran Bragg for the cutest doodle.

Enterprise & IPv6 Workshop

If there’s something that the global IPv6 community agrees on, it is that enterprises are lagging behind ISPs in terms of IPv6 adoption.

There are many misconceptions and a lack of understanding of IPv6 among these organisations, therefore the UK IPv6 Council decided to offer help and some practical guidance. The format was a day-long “Enterprise and IPv6” workshop in London, on 24th April 2023.

Presentations are available below.
