Global Peering Forum
The Global Peering Forum (GPF) builds on an effort started by multiple commercial organizations over 15 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.
