*RIPE 82 will be a free virtual event and will take place from 17-21 May 2021*
The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary sessions, lightning talks and BoFs. Please note that no workshops or tutorials will be organised at this meeting. The RIPE 82 Meeting plan is available here: https://ripe82.ripe.net/programme/meeting-plan/ You have until *19 March 2021* to submit your presentations proposals. Proposals submitted after this date will be considered depending on the slots still available in the programme. The PC is looking for presentations covering topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to: - IPv6 deployment - Managing IPv4 scarcity - Data centre technologies - Network and DNS operations - Internet governance and regulatory practices - Network and routing security - Content delivery - Internet peering and mobile data exchange - Connected Things (aka. Internet of Things - IoT) RIPE Meeting attendees are quite sensitive to keeping presentations non-commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly discouraged. Most successful talks focus on operational experience, research results, or case studies. For example, presenters wishing to describe a commercial solution should focus on the underlying technology and should not attempt a product demonstration. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Submissions --------------------------------------------------------------------- The following general requirements apply: - Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system, https://ripe82.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/ - All presentation proposals will only be considered by the PC if they contain at least draft presentation slides (slides may be updated later on). For panels, proposals must contain a clear description, as well as the names of invited panelists, presenters and moderators. - Presenters should indicate how much time their presentations will require. Here’s an indication of the average duration of each session format: o Plenary presentations: 20-25 minutes presentation with 10-5 minutes discussion o Lightning talks: 10 minutes for both the presentation and discussion o BoFs: one hour - Lightning talks should also be submitted using the same meeting submission system and can be submitted any time up to and including the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talks will be announced the week before the RIPE Meeting. - Presenters who propose a BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator. More detail on the presentation formats can be found here: https://ripe82.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Plenary or Working Group? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Presenters should be clear on whether they wish to submit a presentation for a plenary or working group session. At present, most working groups will solicit policy proposals, discussion points or other content directly via their mailing lists.
