The European Conference on Applied IPv6 is a technical conference for IT professionals interested in the new Internet Protocol, Version 6 (IPv6).

It focuses on the real-world aspects of IPv6 use. The event brings together active and prospective IPv6 practitioners to share their experiences about deployment strategies and operations pitfalls, discuss IPv6 use in new projects and learn about upcoming trends and developments.

We look for speakers who are willing to talk about

• their experiences in rollout,
• the specific problems they ran into...
• ... and how they solved them (or not),
• their current best practices,
• new projects using IPv6,
• security aspects,
• new operations-related trends and specifications

and similar IPv6-related topics.
