You guys do a LOT of research on here. You're constantly making your network better. The science/academic community is mostly done doing the easy 90% of VoIP innovation. Now we in the industry have to make it really work. What you learn in your network could make the WORLD better. SIPNOC and VoiceOps are the leading outlets for industry-proven and leading-edge research into real-time, interactive, multiparty communication. All you have to do is make a 15-minute PowerPoint about the problems you've seen, and how you've solved them. Other folks will learn, and you'll help push the industry forward. -- Russ Penar -- you could tell us what you learn testing this TCP registration optimization stuff. -- Keith LeClaire -- You could tell us how to responsibly report telecom fraud, and how it OUGHT to be done. -- Fred Posner -- You could tell us why we should be organizing ourselves into The Great North American ENUM. -- Colton Conor, Paul Timmins, Jared Geiger -- You guys could tell us about your experiences getting G.722 end-to-end through the various carrier options. -- Shaun Gill -- You could tell us what's on the Fraud-detection landscape. What works, what doesn't work, what the costs and limitations are of the different approaches. -- As for you other frequent contributors -- like Shripal Daphtary, Ryan Delgrosso, Alex Balashov, Jay Hennigan, Carlos Alvarez -- I know you've got some real triumphs and challenges from the past few years that you could bring us in on. Presenting at SIPNOC is good for your employer: -- You show your company is leading the field. -- You pay nothing to get into SIPNOC. -- And you yourself hear the state-of-the-art from other industry practitioners. -- You make networking connections that help grow your business. Take the 30 minutes to write an abstract, and submit it by March 15. https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sipnoc2015 <https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=sipnoc2015> --- mailto:mark at ecg.co <mailto:mark at ecg.co> tel:+1-229-316-0013 http://ecg.co/lindsey <http://ecg.co/lindsey> Begin forwarded message:

A three-day educational conference focusing on the challenges and opportunities related to the deployment of SIP-based carrier services globally, SIPNOC 2015 is a unique, network operator-centric event.

Operators are encouraged to present SIP-related success stories, deployment issues and concerns in their networks, while equipment vendors and other industry stakeholders are invited to work with operators to present real-world deployment experiences.
The SIPNOC conferences attract leading technical and operations personnel from the global carrier community and have earned high praise from attendees for their educational, non-commercial and technical content that focuses on the real-world challenges operators face when deploying SIP services in global IP networks. SIPNOC 2015 attendees will include telecommunications providers, major backbone operators, interconnect and wholesale solution providers, ISPs, cable operators, wireless network operators as well as large enterprises deploying major SIP initiatives.
New for 2015: By popular demand, the SIP Forum has added a special, new workshop to the SIPNOC agenda. For this year's SIPNOC, the SIP Forum has teamed up with ECG <http://www.ecg.co/> to offer a special full day of specialized SIP training. This new SIP Training Day is scheduled for Tuesday, June 23, 2015, and is designed to offer SIPNOC 2015 attendees relevant training on the SIP protocol, as well as provide insights and considerations related to a variety of technical implementations. Ultimately, the goal of this special training workshop is to help ensure that SIPNOC attendees get the most out of the technical presentations that follow.
