ABOUT APRICOT
Representing Asia Pacific's largest international Internet conference, Asia Pacific Regional Internet Conference on Operational Technologies (APRICOT) draws many of the world's best Internet engineers, operators, researchers, service providers, users and policy communities from over 50 countries to teach, present, and do their own human networking.
The ten-day summit consists of seminars, workshops, tutorials, conference sessions, birds-of-a-feather (BOFs), and other forums with the goal of spreading and sharing the knowledge required to operate the Internet within the Asia Pacific region.
APRICOT is a valuable opportunity for participants and sponsors to hear and contribute to discussions concerning current and developing Internet networking technologies and trends.
Organiser
The Asia Pacific Network Operators Group (APNOG) is a non-profit industry association whose aim is to promote the development and improvement of knowledge, skills, and collaboration within the Internet technical operations community in the Asia Pacific region. APNOG operates its annual Internet summit, the Asia Pacific Regional Internet Conference on Operational Technologies Summit (APRICOT Summit).

Co-Organiser
APNIC (Asia Pacific Network Information Centre) is an open, membership-based, not-for-profit service organization. It is the Regional Internet Registry (RIR) for the Asia Pacific region, responsible for the management and distribution of Internet number resources (IP addresses and AS numbers). These are required for the stable and reliable operation of the global Internet.
APNIC is also actively involved in the development of Internet infrastructure throughout the region. This includes providing training and education services, supporting technical activities such as root server deployments, and collaborating with other regional and international organizations.
Host
The Malaysia Network Operators Group (MYNOG) is an initiative to bring together network operators in Malaysia to encourage the sharing of knowledge, learning, and cooperation among fellow counterparts. It provides a forum to discuss operational issues and technologies of interest to network operators in Malaysia, fostering a collaborative environment that supports the rapid growth and technological evolution driven by the push for broadband penetration. While the main objective is educational, vendors are also given the opportunity to share insights on newer technologies, focusing strictly on technological areas.
In addition, MYNOG advocates for expanding the conversation beyond network operators to include a broader audience within the Internet fraternity. By engaging various stakeholders within the Internet ecosystem, we aim to foster inclusive debates and discussions that ensure a more comprehensive and dynamic exchange of ideas among all Internet technology enthusiasts. This inclusive approach strengthens collaboration and innovation across the entire Internet landscape.
