All other details at http://uknof.uk/35 Dear colleagues UKNOF35, taking place on Thursday and Friday next week (8 September 12:00 BST - 9 September 12:30 BST) at The Technical & Innovation Centre, 99 George Street, Glasgow, G1 1RD. This will be our first time in Glasgow! Here’s a few final pieces of information. The meeting agenda includes presentations on a wide range of topics to keep you glued to your seats - cyber security, virtual security operations centre, secure DNS, DevOps in relation to NetOps, how running a network infrastructure can also make you a software company, network monitoring, upgrading your network, IPv6 deployment, SDN inter domain routing and a look in to the fast deployment of a UHD/4K broadcasting service. With a PGP-Keysigning session during lunch on Day 1, the opportunity to pick up your RIPE Atlas probe, long breaks and Pints n’ Packets for having a quick drink or two with industry colleagues before heading off to dinner, these are going to be a couple of very jam packed days. Full agenda and slides are here: http://uknof.uk/agenda35 The Lord Provost of Glasgow is holding a Civic Reception to welcome UKNOF to the city, at City Chambers on Wednesday 7 September from 6pm - 7pm. You either indicated that you were not attending or have not RSVPd to us. Although the RSVP date has passed, if you have either changed your mind or did not have a chance to RSVP and now wish to attend, then please let us know by close of play today (Wednesday 31 August) by emailing [email protected]. We have a few more spaces available and these will be on a first come first served basis. The registration desk for delegate badge collection opens at 12pm on the 8th with lunch being available immediately to prep yourselves for the afternoon ahead. The main session begins at 1.30pm and runs until approximately 6pm, including a coffee break of 30 minutes, followed by Pints n’ Packets - a chance to have a couple of quick drinks with your peers before you head off for dinner. UKNOF35 returns the next day, the 9th, with registration at 9am (tea and coffee will be available). The main session starts at 9.30am and runs until 12.30pm with a 30 minutes coffee break in between. We are aware of those who indicated allergies, intolerances and other dietary preferences and have incorporated much of this in the lunch.

UKNOF35 is no different with 34% first time attendees registered to attend. We understand how daunting it can be to attend a meeting for the first time, especially if you are new to the industry. As such, Debbie Casey, from our Meeting Committee, will be manning the ‘First Time Attendee’ section of the registration desk and will be on hand to welcome and provide any guidance required. In addition, First Time Attendees may approach any of the UKNOF crew (wearing RED coloured lanyards) regarding any questions they may have. UKNOF meetings are relaxed and fairly informal, and we are certain that those who have attended UKNOF in the past will assist the first time attendees with settling in. [[ UKNOF CREW ]] The UKNOF crew consists of those who are involved with organising the main aspects of the meeting - The Programme Committee and The Meeting Committee. You will be able to recognise the crew by the RED coloured lanyards they will be sporting during the day.
