We are excited to welcome Ralf Weber, Principal Architect at Akamai Technologies GmbH, to Nordic Domain Days 2025. As a technical expert at one of the world's leading content delivery and cloud service providers, Ralf brings valuable insights into the critical challenges facing DNS infrastructure in today's rapidly evolving internet landscape.

In his session "DELEG: A way forward for DNS," Ralf will address a fundamental disconnect in our industry: while the internet has transformed dramatically over four decades - from simple websites to cloud computing, CDNs, and edge services - the core fundamentals of DNS have remained largely unchanged. Today's internet demands more from its naming system than ever before, creating new challenges for security, performance, and operational efficiency.

Ralf will explore the groundbreaking work being done by the IETF DELEG working group to modernize DNS delegation and resolution processes. This initiative represents one of the most significant attempts to prepare DNS for the challenges of coming decades, potentially reshaping how we approach domain name system architecture.

As we celebrate our 10th anniversary, presentations like Ralf's remind us that our industry must constantly balance stability with innovation. Join us at Nordic Domain Days 2025 to learn about the potential future of the technology that underpins the modern internet.
