During 2019, Thailand IX participated the Peering Asia 3.0 for the first time, in Kuala Lampur, Malaysia. The event was important for us since we were lunch sponsors. At the same time, we officially joined the Asia Pacific Internet Exchange Association (APIX) as a member.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, during 2020, the in-person Peering Asia event was cancelled due to COVID-19 pandemic, which was not ideal for the APIX to organize in-person event due to several preventive measures, including lockdown, social distancing, and avoiding in-person contact or communicate.<\/p>\n\n\n
