What do we look for in proposals?

Each year we look for new, quality driven content for conference sessions and workshops that will actively engage participants.

The AFRINIC-19 Programme Committee then assesses all proposals before providing feedback and outcomes.  

The AFRINIC-19 programme is organised in two parts: Trainings - workshops and plenary sessions. Every year the Programme committee looks for people who: 

• Participate in the technical conference sessions as a speaker
• Convene and chair panel sessions on relevant topics
• Deliver technical tutorials

The AFRINIC-19 Programme Committee looks for proposals that:

• Explore trends and developments in the field
• Share best practices and innovative solutions
• Examine topics that evoke debate and discussion
