What to expect at APNIC 62

APNIC 62 is a seven-day event packed with learning and networking opportunities. You can look forward to:

These workshops are designed to provide you with practical skills that you can apply in your day-to-day work. INNOG is offering a Next-Gen Service Provider Routing workshop (three days) covering Containerlab, segment routing, EVPN, and streaming telemetry, for attendees who have an intermediate level of knowledge of routing and switching in a service provider environment.
• Conference sessions (8 - 10 September 2026): Hear from network operators, industry leaders, and technical experts from around the region and beyond, who will share their insights on Internet operations. The conference will feature sessions on security, IPv6, networking, and more. It will also include community-driven Special Interest Group (SIG) meetings on policy, routing security, and Internet collaboration. The event concludes with the APNIC Members Meeting.

There are also several opportunities to build your professional network and connect with industry peers.

Registration, visas, and travel

Register by 31 July 2026 to take advantage of the early-bird discount on the workshop fees. Please note that APNIC Members will be entitled to register for one free ticket to the conference, with all other registrations at the standard rate. You will not be able to submit an in-person registration without first paying in full. If you're joining the event online, there is no charge.

If you will be travelling internationally to take part in the conference, do not apply for a conference visa until after you have registered. India has unique requirements for conference visas, and the registration process will provide you with documentation to support your visa application.

Information about the visa application process is available on the conference site, however, it will be your responsibility to secure the required visa before attending the conference.

The sooner you book your travel and accommodation, the better the prices will be.

There's more registration information available on the APNIC 62 website.

Also, take note of the registration terms and conditions and the APNIC Community Code of Conduct.

Both onsite and online participation require registration using an APNIC Login. If you don't have an APNIC Login, it's simple to create one - here's a step-by-step guide.
