Dear colleagues UKNOF and LINX will be co-hosting an online meeting on 11 May (14;30 - 16:30 BST) and the UKNOF Programme Committee are seeking content from the community for this.
You may often hear it said that UKNOF's remit is "distribution of clue", and for our first fully remote meeting, we are looking for content which is timely and operattionally relevant in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. The whole session is planned for around 90-120 minutes and with this in mind, we are looking for 5-6 presentations which are no longer than 10 minutes in length each. The remaining time will be used for questions, discussions and handovers. Subject areas we are looking for include the following, but not limited to: * data on traffic growth * operational scaling and availability challenges * infrastructure and skills bottlenecks * supply chain challenges * personnel & infrastructure protection * security/disinformation threats, public education * ideas that are helping * lessons learned * information from official channels * universal access inequities Please submit your proposals at <https://uknof.uk/virtualMay2020>. You may also register to attend the meeting via the above link. **Submissions** are welcome at any time, but for virtualUKNOF May 2020 we would like to have them **no later than 1 May 2020**. Information for speakers about presenting and what to expect at UKNOF is available at <https://wiki.uknof.org.uk/Speaker_Information> Additional information for speakers of virtualUKNOF: * your talk will be live broadcast and recorded for future reference * your presentation slides will be available for delegates and others to download and refer to, before, during and after the meeting **Note** that in order to preserve editorial neutrality and the best experience for our attendees and sponsors, the UKNOF PC cannot accept abstract submissions for presentations by commercial organisations that are also sponsors in any way of the same UKNOF event. If you would like one of our sponsored presentation slots, please contact [spon...@uknof.org.uk](mailto:link). Please note that UKNOF is run on a non-profit basis, and is not in a position to reimburse expenses or time for speakers at its meetings. Regards Denesh UKNOF Events Plannager
