Guidelines for Submissions:

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

- Conference presentations should address issues that ISPs and network
operators could face over the next 12-18 months in their day-to-day
operations.  Conference presenters should plan for a 25-minute
presentation followed by a 5-minute Q&A period.

- Please note that marketing/commercial content will not be
considered.  The presenter should come from a technical background,
not sales/marketing.

Deadline and Notification of Accepted Presentations:

The deadline to submit is 23 February 2015.

The MENOG PC (Program Committee) will confirm whether your
presentation proposal is accepted before 1 March 2015.

Late submissions that are exceptionally timely or of critical
operational importance will be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Funding and Support:

MENOG is a not-for-profit event that aims to keep the cost of
attending as low as possible for attendees.  For this reason, MENOG is
unable to subsidize the cost of travel for speakers.
