The RIPE Programme Committee (PC) is now seeking content proposals from the RIPE community for the plenary sessions, lightning talks and BoFs. RIPE 89 will be hybrid, so both in-person and virtual presentations will be accepted and encouraged.
The deadline to submit a presentation proposal is Friday, 23 August 2024.
Proposals submitted after this date will only be considered if there are still time slots available.
The Programme Committee 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 (a.k.a. Internet of Things – IoT)
- Sustainable technologies
RIPE Meeting attendees prefer non-commercial presentations, 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.
Submissions
The following general requirements apply:
- Proposals must be submitted using the meeting submission system
- All presentation proposals will only be considered by the PC if they contain draft presentation slides (slides may be updated later on)
- Presenters should indicate how much time their presentations will require;
here’s an indication of the maximum duration of each session format:- Plenary presentations: 20-25 minute presentation with 5-10 minutes for questions and discussion
- Lightning talks: 10 minutes in total for both the presentation and discussion
- BoFs: One hour. This includes time for presentation and discussion
- Lightning talks should also be submitted using the meeting submission system
- The allocation of lightning talks will be announced the week before the RIPE Meeting
- Presenters who propose a BoF are encouraged to include speakers from several (perhaps even competing) companies and/or a neutral facilitator

Presenters’ Tickets
All speakers are required to purchase a ticket to attend RIPE 89, as the event is solely funded through community members and sponsors.
Speakers that come from an underrepresented part of the community or have new content or a unique topic to present on can apply to have their RIPE 89 day ticket fee waived. Requests should be sent to the Programme Committee, and the RIPE Chair Team will make the final decision based on the circumstances.
The RIPE Code of Conduct
To ensure that RIPE Meeting values are upheld and that attendees experience a professional, respectful and safe meeting, please read the RIPE Code of Conduct.
