When considering a presentation or 
tutorial, remember that the MENOG audience is mainly comprised of 
technical network operators and engineers with varying experience levels.

Tutorials should focus on teaching core skills and basic knowledge.  A 
tutorial session is 90-minutes or 180 minutes long.

Conference presentations should address issues that ISPs and network 
operators could face in their day-to-day operations or over the next 
12-18 months.

Conference presenters should plan for a 20-minute presentation followed 
by a 5-minute Q&A period. Notification of Accepted Presentations

: The 
MENOG PC will confirm whether your presentation proposal is accepted by 
17 September 2012. Late submissions that are exceptionally timely or of 
critical operational importance will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Funding and Support
