Lightning Talks
---------------

Lightning talks are open to all registered APRICOT 2021 attendees, and
the call for submissions is now open.

     https://www.2021.apricot.net/program/lightning-talks

Lightning talks are short talks/presentations on relevant topics that
last no more than 10 minutes, including setting up to present and Q&A.
This time limit is strictly enforced.

Talks on technical topics that are timely, interesting, or even a little
crazy, are invited. The APRICOT 2021 Program Committee will evaluate all
submissions and choose the best six. Talks must be relevant to the
Internet operations community, following the APRICOT Presentation
Guidelines.

Connect with your peers
-----------------------

Peering Personals will be part of the Peering Forum at APRICOT again.
They're an opportunity for infrastructure operators to introduce their
network and peering information. Each organization will have a minute to
present their peering and interconnect details.

     https://www.2021.apricot.net/program/peering-personals

Please submit your Peering Personal, using the slide template provided,
via the APRICOT 2021 paper submission system, selecting the Peering
Personals option.

     https://papers.apricot.net/user/login.php?event=128

This is a great opportunity for operators to increase their peering
opportunities.
