LACNIC is calling, until March 1, for presentations to be included on the LTF agenda for LACNIC33, our upcoming event which will be held in the city of Cali, Colombia, on 4-8 May 2020. 

(Source: LACNIC) The LACNIC Technical Forum (LTF) is a space included in LACNIC's annual events, created for the international community to share their experiences, work and initiatives related to various technical aspects of a common topic: Internet development in the region of Latin America and the Caribbean. 

LACNIC, the Latin American and Caribbean Internet Addresses Registry, is an international non-government organization established in Uruguay in 2002, responsible for assigning and managing Internet number resources (IPv4, IPv6, ASNs) and reverse resolution for the region of Latin America and the Caribbean.

The FTL will accept two types of presentations:

1. Short presentation: 10-minute presentation plus 5 additional minutes for questions.

All presentation times must be strictly adhered to and the space reserved for the audience's participation must be respected.
