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.<br><br>The RIPE PC accepts proposals for different presentation formats, including plenary session presentations, tutorials, workshops, BoFs (Birds of a Feather sessions) and lightning talks.

For panels, proposals must contain a clear description, as well as the names of invited panelists, presenters and moderators.<br></div><div><br></div><div>- Due to potential technical issues, it is expected that most, if not all, presenters/panelists will be physically present at the RIPE Meeting.<br></div><div><br></div>If you have any questions or requests concerning content submissions, please email pc [at] ripe [dot] net.</div></div><div><br></div><div>---------------------</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
