and share the latest in Internet operations, technologies, practices and
receive high quality training.
The event is unique in New Zealand and attracts technical, skilled
individuals with a genuine interest in Internet operations and
Internetworking technologies.
Submissions on any aspect of networking are welcome however we are
particularly interested in presentations that involve real world
operational experience, particularly in New Zealand.
Conference registration for accepted presenters will be free.
Submit a proposal:
Presenters are invited to submit presentation proposals. Talks will be
reviewed and accepted (or rejected) as they are received. Often we
will have a discussion with a potential presenter to refine the proposed
content and ensure it is appropriate for our audience. We are also
happy to have a chat about your idea before you make a proposal.
Please provide your talk title, a short presenter bio and a description
of the proposed presentation. Description should be no more than one
page long and provide a summary of your networking related subject matter.
Normally presentations are 30 min long, are video streamed live and

Hi all,
The APRICOT 2026 Organising Committee would like to welcome everyone
to join us in Jakarta, Indonesia, from 5th - 12th February 2026.
The APRICOT 2026 PC (Programme Committee) is responsible for the
solicitation and selection of suitable presentations and tutorial
content for the APRICOT 2026 conference (https://2026.apricot.net/)
We are now seeking VOLUNTEERS from the community to join the APRICOT
2026 PC to assist with the development of the programme for APRICOT
2026.
Eligible PC candidates must have attended recent APRICOT events, be
active members of their local NOG (Network Operators Group) 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 expected to work very actively to solicit content,
follow-through with speaker 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 17:00hrs UTC+8 on
Sunday 7th September 2025, and will announce the new PC shortly
thereafter.
Many thanks!
