* * *The NZNOG Trustees invite presentation proposals for the 18th (mostly) annual NZNOG conference, to be hosted at the Intercontinental Hotel in central Wellington on January 26-28th, 2022. With the conference there will be a day of tutorials on the 25th Jan.  Back-up dates pencilled in are April 6-8th 2022.* * Conference objective: The NZNOG conference, workshops and tutorials are an opportunity for individuals and organisations involved in Internet operations to meet 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 talks that involve real world deployment experience, particularly in New Zealand. To keep with our objectives, we are aiming that this conference is a largely, in-person event. However, we will be accepting a small number of presentations from overseas speakers who cannot attend NZNOG in person. We do understand that flexibility is required this year and encourage interested presenters to discuss options with us. Submit a proposal: Presenters are invited to submit talk proposals for consideration by 26th November, 2021. Talks may be accepted earlier. Please provide your talk title, a short presenter bio and an abstract of the talk. Abstracts 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 slide decks are posted to the NZNOG website.  If you want a different duration or other arrangements please let us know at submission time. Conference registration for accepted presenters will be free. To submit your proposal please e-mail: talks(a)nznog.org *
