APNIC 50 Conference - Call for Papers
_____________________________________________________________________

The APNIC Program Committee is now seeking presentations for the APNIC
50 Conference scheduled for September 2020. We are looking for content
that would suit technical sessions.

APNIC and ISPAB, the local host of APNIC 50, have been meeting regularly
to discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the conference and it
is expected that a decision will be made soon on the format of APNIC 50. 
A technical program will be needed whether it is a regular conference or
online-only, and the PC are seeking quality technical content.

*Please note, the program committee is working to early deadlines so
the APNIC conference program can be announced early. APNIC will waive
the conference registration fee for accepted speakers however, speakers
must fund their own travels if the conference goes ahead in Dhaka, 
Bangladesh*.
