Call for Presentations

*RIPE 81 will take place online between the  27th - 30th October 2020*

The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the
RIPE community for the plenary sessions and lightning talks.

We will be working with the NCC Meeting Team to facilitate BoF sessions,
but due to the lack of physical constraints we do not envisage rejecting
any BoF applications.

There are no plans for workshops or tutorials as part of this meeting.

More detail on the presentation formats can be found here:
https://ripe81.ripe.net/submit-topic/presentation-formats/

Proposals for these sessions must be submitted for full consideration no
later than August 30th 2020. Proposals submitted after this date will be
considered depending on the slots still available in the programme.

The PC is looking for presentations covering the topics of network
engineering and operations, including but not limited to:
- IPv6 deployment
- Managing IPv4 scarcity
- Data centre technologies
- Network and DNS operations
- Internet governance and regulatory practices
- Network and routing security
- Content delivery
- Internet peering and mobile data exchange
- Connected Things (aka. Internet of Things - IoT)

Submissions
----

Presenters should be clear on whether they wish to submit a presentation
for a plenary or working group (WG) session.  At present, most working
groups will solicit policy proposals, discussion points or other content
directly via their mailing lists.  If you’re not sure what kind of session
you should be presenting at, please visit:

https://ripe81.ripe.net/submit-topic/plenary-or-wg/

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 should 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
- BoFs: approximately one hour
- Lightning talks: 10 minutes in total for both the
   presentation and any discussion

The following general requirements apply:
- Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission
   system, https://ripe81.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/
- Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission
   system (https://ripe81.ripe.net/submit-topic/submission-form/) 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.
- All 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 panellists, presenters and moderators.
