The APRICOT Week at a Glance ( Version 1.1 )
The Asia Pacific Internet Festival of 1999
Venue: SunTec City Convention Centre, downtown Singapore
Dates: 28 February 1999 to 7 March 1999
URL: http://www.apng.org/apricot99 (in English, Japanese, Korean, and
Chinese)
APRICOT'99 will consist of two days of tutorials (1-2 March 1999) and
seminars followed by three days of conferences consisting of concurrent
Technical, Business, Education, Policy and other tracks. (3-5 March 1999)
In addition to other back-to-back meetings of Asia Pacific Internet
organizations APNG, APNIC, APIA, APTLD, and their respective working groups,
and other Internet conferences such as Internet World Asia @ Singapore 1999
and Singapore LINUX Conference 1999, APRICOT'99 will be hosting within its
conference tracks:
* ICANN Meeting, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names
and Numbers, the successor organization to IANA. (3 March 1999)
* APPLe Policy Track
* Women in IT BoF
* APNG Education Track
* APSIRC WG (Security CERTs and FIRSTs in Asia and Pacific)
* Regional Internet eXchange Point (IXP) Update BOF
* APIA Business Track
In it's tradition of empowering the Internet community, APRICOT'99 will
again offer unique tutorials that vital to an ISP's operations. These
tutorials are presented by an instructor team that is the top %1 of the ISP
Community. Through APRICOT, they are offering the ISP and Telco community
knowledge, experience, and information that is not available in any other
forum.
Some of the material is unique - one time only at APRICOT'99. For example,
"Tools Used at DIGEX and Verio to Manage Their Networks" by Randy Bush & Ed
Kern, is unique in that the internal network techniques and tools of two US
Tier 1 ISPs will be shared with any who come to the tutorial. New and
existing ISPs/Telcos can learn from the first hand experience gained from
two gurus and apply them to their networks.
