What Fórum Regional do Jabaquara does

The Fórum Regional do Jabaquara is the IX (9th) edition of the IX Fórum Regional, a regional event series organized by NIC.br (Núcleo de Informação e Coordenação do Ponto BR) under the oversight of CGI.br (Comitê Gestor da Internet no Brasil). The forum convenes internet service providers, government agencies, academic institutions, and industry associations to discuss regional internet infrastructure in Brazil, with a specific technical focus on IX.br Internet Exchange Points and how autonomous system participants interconnect. The event is coordinated by Ceptro.br, a division of NIC.br, and is delivered jointly with the BCOP training course on Good Operational Practices for Autonomous Systems, offered both in-person and via distance learning through NIC.br's course platform.

The underlying technical subject matter centers on the IX.br ecosystem, a national traffic exchange point infrastructure operated by NIC.br that enables ISPs and autonomous systems to interconnect directly, improving routing efficiency within Brazil. The forum complements this infrastructure by providing a regional dialogue venue alongside the annual Semana de Infraestrutura da Internet no Brasil (Brazil Internet Infrastructure Week), and has been supplemented by online channels including Lives Intra Rede and the online Semana de Capacitação.

Revenue is generated exclusively through corporate sponsorship packages coordinated by Ceptro.br, covering the combined set of events including the regional forum, BCOP courses, online training weeks, and live sessions. No individual event attendance pricing is disclosed; sponsorship details are available via a downloadable PDF. The operating entity is structured as a non-profit under NIC.br, with a minimal organizing team of 5 employees, and the forum series has been continuously held in cities across Brazil since 2017.
