About us
GLOBAL PeerING FORUM
The Global Peering Forum (GPF) builds on an effort started by multiple commercial organizations over 18 years ago. GPF is an independent, non-profit organization designed to advance the business interests of individuals involved in peering and interconnection. GPF is a 501(c)(6) non-profit corporation operating as a business league. The current board consists of nine elected representatives from organizations who have supported the event for a number of years.
GPF is a not-for-profit membership organization governed by a Board of Directors. This board is composed of industry volunteers elected by GPF members. The structure ensures that GPF remains a true representation of its members’ interests and needs, and the event not run for commercial gain.
