Wednesday morning saw the IPv4 wireless network disabled for an hour for the special IPv6 Plenary Session.

Shortly after, there were 120 users, almost every attendee in the session, connected to an IPv6-only network. The majority of these users completed an online survey, entering their details into a prize draw. The winner will be announced on Friday in the Closing Plenary. The presentations, all of which were related to IPv6 adoption or IPv4 depletion, sparked lively debate that carried over to the RIPE IPv6 Working Group Session later in the day.
