Call for Presentations
A RIPE Meeting is an open event where Internet Service Providers, network
operators and other interested parties get together.
Although the meeting is mostly technical, it is also a chance for people to
meet and network with others in their field.
*RIPE 79 will take place from 14-18 October in Rotterdam, The Netherlands* The
RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE
community for the plenary sessions, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions), panels,
workshops, tutorials and lightning talks at RIPE 79.
See the full descriptions of the different presentation formats:

Proposals for plenary sessions, BoFs, panels, workshops and tutorials must be
submitted for full consideration no later than *16 August 2019*.
Proposals submitted after this date will be considered depending on the slots
still available in the programme.
The PC is looking for presentations covering the topics of network engineering
and operations, including but not limited
to:
- IPv6 deployment

individual basis, to develop their professional or academic career.

[email protected].

Submissions
_____________________________________________________
Presenters should be clear on whether they wish to submit a presentation for a
plenary or working group (WG) session. At present, most working groups will
solicit policy proposals, discussion points or other content directly via their
mailing lists. If you're not sure what kind of session you should be presenting
at, please visit:
https://ripe79.ripe.net/plenary-or-wg/
RIPE Meeting attendees are quite sensitive to keeping presentations non-
commercial, and product marketing talks are strongly discouraged.
Repeated audience feedback shows that the 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.
Presenters should indicate how much time they will require.
In general, the time allocated for the different presentation formats is as
follows:
- Plenary presentations: 20-25 minutes presentation with
5-10 minutes discussion
- Tutorials: up to two hours (Monday morning)
- Workshops: one hour (during evening sessions) to two hours (Monday
morning)
- BoFs: approximately one hour (during evening sessions)
- Lightning talks: 10 minutes in total for both the presentation and any
discussion The following general requirements apply:
- Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system,
https://ripe79.ripe.net/submit-topic/
- Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system
(https://ripe79.ripe.net/submit-topic/) and can be submitted any time up to and
including the meeting week. The allocation of lightning talks will be announced
on short notice, in some cases on the same day but often one day prior to the
time slot allocated.
- Presenters who propose a panel or BoF are encouraged to include speakers from
several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator.
- 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 panellists, presenters and moderators.
