Hi NZNOG,
The APRICOT 2027 Program Committee chairs are pleased to announce that
the Call for Papers (CfP) has been published at the below URL:
https://2027.apricot.net/programme/callforpresentations
We look forward to receiving your submissions, noting that the APRICOT
2027 conference in Hong Kong will be held 1st - 3rd March, 2027.
The sooner you can submit your presentation, the greater the chance it
could make the final agenda.
For any questions regarding the CfP please feel free to reach out to
the PC team.
Regards,
Achie Atienza, Mark Duffell & Mark Tinka
APRICOT 2027 Programme Committee Chairs
The APRICOT 2027 Organising team would like to welcome everyone to
join us in Hong Kong from 24th February to 4th March 2027.
The APRICOT 2027 Programme Committee is responsible for the
solicitation and selection of suitable presentations and tutorial
content for the APRICOT 2027 conference (https://2027.apricot.net/)
We are now seeking VOLUNTEERS from the community to join the APRICOT
2027 PC to assist with the development of the programme for APRICOT
2027.
Eligible PC candidates must have attended recent APRICOT events, be
active members of their local NOG in the Asia Pacific region, have
broad technical knowledge of Internet operations, and have good
familiarity with the format of APRICOT. Having constructive opinions
and ideas about how the programme content might be improved is of high
value too.
PC members are required to work very actively to solicit content, work
with speakers for PC recommended content updates, and review
submissions for technical merit.
The PC meets by conference call, weekly in frequency during the three
months prior to APRICOT. While participation in the weekly calls is
not obligatory, active participation in content reviews is required at
all times to help the PC reach consensus. PC members who are unable to
fully participate in the programme development will be excused from
the PC.
If you are interested in joining the PC and meet the above eligibility
criteria, please send a brief note to "pc-chairs at apricot.net". The
note must include affiliation (if any) and a brief description about
why you would make a good addition to the PC.
The PC Chairs will accept nominations received by 17:00 UTC+8 on
Sunday 18th October 2026, and will announce the new PC shortly
thereafter.
Many thanks!
Achie Atienza, Mark Duffell & Mark Tinka
