call for speakers
The AC6 Call for Speakers is OPEN!
We are now accepting submissions for potential AutoCon 6 speakers.
The deadline for submissions is 21 August 2026.
If you are interested in sharing your direct personal experience designing, building, or operating network automation, orchestration, observability or related projects - including both business and technical content - please consider submitting.
Note Well: NAF events are for the doers, the makers, the folks who have, are, or will be deploying automation/orchestration/observability/AI/ML solutions in their networks (across Enterprises, Service Providers, and the Public Sector).
All of our presentations reflect this. That means no “marketechture,” no product pitches, very little theory, and lots of hands-on practical know-how based on real-world experience.
If you have deployed it in production, we invite you to come talk about it.
AutoCon 6 will once again be split into multiple tracks. This means we are specifically looking for stories related to organizational leadership and stories that include a deeper dive into technical details (show us the code!), in addition to plenty of the classic AutoCon success stories you know and love.
We also want to be sure to cover all aspects of network automation, including optical layer automation, cybersecurity automation, interconnection automation, and anything else you’ve learned along your journey.
We highly encourage you to review previous AutoCon talks to see what’s been covered and how others have approached this highly technical audience of network engineers and software developers.
Bring your story to our stage!
PS; We typically get around 100 speaker submissions per event, and we only have time for about 30 talks. If you want to increase your chances of selection - read this page again before submitting! =)
