The first citation I can see in a quick check is to:
Proceedings of Multi-Service Networks, Cosener's. House, Abingdon, Oxfordshire, England, July 1992
Although the UNIVERSE and UNISON project meetings took place in the 80's as Jon and David have said - see

The Coseners meetings originated as the annual project review meetings for the Alvey funded UNISON project around the mid 1980's. When this project finished everyone thought that it would be a good idea to have an annual networks meeting in the Coseners House. I think this would have been the late 1980's. It became known as NGN much later than this, I think around the early 2000's, but I may be wrong here.

Adam
there isn't 1 answer - there's the NGNs since Ian has been running,
but there were the MSN meetings before which as far as I know went
back to the early/mid 1980s and evolved out of the Universe project
(Cambridge, UCL,, Loughborough, Logica and others)
and related work....
