Dear colleagues, We are excited to announce that the Call for Presentations is now open for RIPE 91, which will take place at the JW Marriott Bucharest Grand Hotel, Romania, from 20-24 October 2025.
Please note that the Pretalx submission system will be used for RIPE 91. More information and the link to the submission system is available at: https://ripe91.ripe.net/present/call-for-presentations/
Note to everyone, the system requires to login by RIPE access but then asks to create a separate Pretalx account. It is not clear which data storage and retention rules will apply to that. The user interface is quite smooth and mobile-friendly with one exception: it asks to mark available time slots at the schedule in UTC. That fails badly on mobile. I understand that it can be useful for plenary talks (as i former member of PC, i recall cases when participants are not available on certain days.) however it makes little sense for Working Group talk submissions. Therefore i ask for time selector to be made optional. Once approved, speakers can be asked to confirm their availability by PC (or the group chairs.)
You will need to make a RIPE NCC Access account and enable two-factor authentication in order to access the submission system. Make your RIPE NCC Access account here: https://access.ripe.net/registration
Please see my notes above. I did not see GDPR-like disclaimer and data storage, processing and retention policy reference during my talk submission. Thanks! — dk@
