<b>CfP Submissions</b><br>

Draft slides for both tutorials and conference sessions MUST be

means that submissions which do not include slides will be rejected
immediately. For work in progress, the most current information
available at time of submission is acceptable.<br>

Final slides are to be provided by the specified deadline for
publication on the SAFNOG-4/EANOG/tzNOG websites.<br>
<br>
Prospective presenters should note that the majority of speaking
slots will be filled well before the final submission deadline. The
PC may, at their discretion, retain a limited number of slots up to
the final submission deadline for presentations that are
exceptionally timely, important, or of critical operational
importance. Every year we turn away submissions, due to filling up
all available programme slots before the deadline. Presenters should
endeavour to get material into the PC sooner rather than later.<br>
<br>
Any questions or concerns should be addressed to the Programme
Committee by e-mail at:<br>

We look forward to receiving your presentation proposals.<br>
