[see-regional] SEE 5/RIPE NCC Regional Meeting: Call for Presentations

Dear colleagues,

Are you an experienced network operator willing to share your expertise 
with your peers in South East Europe?

SEE 5 will take place from 19–20 April 2016 in Tirana, Albania. The 
meeting is open to anyone and there is no cost to attend.

The South East Europe (SEE) Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking 
content proposals from the community for Plenary presentations, panels 
sessions, workshops and lightning talks at SEE 5, the fifth South East 
Europe/RIPE NCC Regional Meeting.

Proposals are sought on topics including, but not limited to:

     IPv6 deployment
     Managing IPv4 scarcity in operations
     Commercial transactions of IPv4 addresses
     Data centre technologies
     Network and DNS operations
     Internet governance and regulatory practices
     Network and routing security
     Content delivery
     Internet peering and mobile data exchange
     Efforts to establish IXPs in the region
     Reports from existing IXPs
     Regional success stories

Submissions should be 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.

For examples of previous presentations, see:
https://www.ripe.net/participate/meetings/regional-meetings/see-4

Presenters who are proposing a panel are encouraged to include speakers 
from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral 
facilitator.

In addition to presentations selected in advance for the Plenary, the 
SEE PC also offers time slots for “lightning talks”, which are selected 
immediately before or during the conference.

The following general requirements apply:

- Proposals should be submitted by 8 February 2016 at: 
https://meetings.ripe.net/see5/pc/login.php
- Proposals submitted after this date will be considered on a 
space-available basis.
- Presenters should indicate how much time they will require. Usually, 
30-minute slots are granted for Plenary presentations and 60-minute 
slots for panels.
- Proposals for talks will only be considered by the PC if they contain 
draft presentation slides (slides may be updated at a later date). For 
panels, proposals must contain a clear description, as well as the names 
of invited panelists, presenters and moderators.
- Due to potential technical issues, it is expected that most, if not 
all, presenters/panelists will be physically present at the SEE 5 Meeting.

If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, 
please email see-pc at ripe.net.

Looking forward to your submissions

Kind regards,

Serge Radovcic
On behalf of the SEE PC
