The UK Network Operator’s Forum is keen to see talks from members of the academic community on their research. The next UKNOF is in Manchester on 21st April 2016. Attendance is free if you sign up before the early-bird cutoff of 6th April. Numbers are now at over 250 as the event grows in popularity, so it's a very good opportunity for you to meet members (largely) of the UK ISP/IX communities and discuss ideas with them.
