Dear colleagues
We are pleased to announce UKNOF and LONAP will be co-hosting virtualUKNOF July
2020, taking place on 20 July (14:30 - 16:30) followed by an online social
event.
The meeting website is live and the Call for Presentations is now open.
Registrations will open in a few days.

The whole session is planned for around 90-120 minutes and with this in mind,
we are looking for 5-6 presentations which are no longer than 15 minutes in
length each. The remaining time will be used for questions, discussions and
handovers.
Subject areas we are looking for include the following, but not limited to:
* data on traffic growth
* operational scaling and availability challenges
* infrastructure and skills bottlenecks
* supply chain challenges
* personnel & infrastructure protection
* security/disinformation threats, public education
* ideas that are helping
* lessons learned
* information from official channels
* universal access inequities
all within the wider areas we usually cover.
Please submit your proposals at <https://uknof.uk/virtualMay2020>
**Submissions** are welcome at any time, but for virtualUKNOF July 2020 we
would like to have them no later than 3 July 2020.**.
