This page is purely for the submission of papers for the combined ZANOG / iWeek event in 2026

Please register at https://www.iweek.org.za.   

The Call for Papers is now open.

For ZANOG 2026, we’re particularly interested in operationally focused talks and case studies, including (but not limited to):

  - Network operations and troubleshooting in production environments
  - Automation and tooling for day-to-day network operations
  - Monitoring, observability, and incident response
  - IPv6 deployment, migration, and operational lessons
  - Routing operations, BGP hygiene, RPKI, and MANRS
  - Security operations and network resilience
  - Scaling networks: people, process, and technology
  - Lessons learned from outages, migrations, or major changes

We welcome full talks, lightning talks, panels, and experience reports, and we strongly encourage submissions from operators of all sizes — ISPs, enterprises, content networks, and infrastructure providers.

ZANOG is a community-driven, non-commercial event. Speakers do not pay to present, and attendance is free for participants.

Submission deadline: 27 February 2026
