[as chair: This appeared relevant - so I have forwarded]

The SIP Forum is holding its first SIP Network Operators Conference (SIPNOC) on April 25th to the 27th, 2011, at the Hyatt Dulles Hotel in Herndon, Virginia – a few minutes from Dulles International Airport. 

SIPNOC is a technical conference developed for service providers and carriers to gather and discuss the challenges of deploying and implementing SIP-based communications technology, and to share the best-practices and strategies that enable the successful and profitable operation of SIP-based services and applications in fixed and mobile IP network environments. Unlike other events, this conference is for SIP network operations personnel, such as NOC engineers, rather than a high-level conference for executives.

For more information about SIPNOC, including the preliminary schedule of events and other important details about the conference, please visit http://www.sipnoc.org.

The SIPNOC Program Committee is seeking proposals for presentations, panels, or BOFs (Birds-Of-a-Feather sessions) for the SIPNOC 2011 program.  We invite presentations highlighting issues relating to SIP network deployments. Operators are encouraged to present on successes, issues, and concerns found in their deployments. Vendors are encouraged to work with operators to present real-world deployment experiences.

The deadline for submission of presentation/paper abstracts and draft slides is February 21, 2011.
Full details of the submission process and policies, as well as other SIPNOC 2011 dates of interest, can be found at:

I look forward to seeing you at the event!

Best Wishes,
Eric Burger
SIPNOC Chair
