The IETF 126 meeting is scheduled to take place from 18 to 24 July 2026 in Vienna, Austria. The event is organised by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF), an open international community dedicated to the development and maintenance of the technical standards that support the operation of the internet.

IETF meetings serve as collaborative working sessions where participants engage in discussions on protocols, network architectures, and operational practices through working groups, side meetings, and plenary sessions.

IETF 126 is expected to address a broad range of topics, including core internet protocols, routing, transport technologies, network security, and emerging technical and operational challenges. Participation is generally open to engineers, researchers, network operators, policymakers, and other stakeholders involved in internet standardisation and development.

Additional information, including registration details and the meeting agenda, is available on the official event website.
