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 75. See the full descriptions of the different presentation formats.
The first Call for Presentations (CfP) deadline has passed. The PC has issued a second CfP: proposals for plenary sessions, BoFs, workshops and tutorials must be submitted no later than 6 September 2017.
Proposals submitted after this date will be considered depending on the remaining available space in the programme.
The PC is looking for presentations covering topics of network engineering and operations, including but not limited to:
- IPv4 scarcity and IPv6 deployment
- Commercial transactions of IPv4 addresses
- Data centre technologies
- Network, DNS and IXP operations
- Internet governance and regulatory practices
- Network and routing security
- Content delivery
- Internet peering and mobile data exchange
- Internet of Things (IoT)
Due to UAE law, confirmed speakers will be asked to submit their passport number and contact information in advance of the meeting. More information about the DTCM requirements.
Please note that all presenters, RIPE Working Group Chairs and the RIPE Programme Committee must cover their own costs to attend a RIPE Meeting (meeting ticket, travel and accommodation). We have various ticket options available depending on your needs. In extraordinary circumstances, the RIPE Chair can waive the meeting fee for presenters. These requests are dealt with on a case-by-case basis via pc [at] ripe [dot] net.
Submissions
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 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 (Sunday morning)
- Workshops: one hour (during evening sessions) to two hours (Sunday morning)
- BoFs: approximately one hour
- Lightning talks: 10 minutes
The following general requirements apply:
- Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system.
- Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system 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.
- 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 panelists, presenters and moderators.
- Due to potential technical issues, presenters/panelists should be physically present at the RIPE Meeting.
