SIPNOC 2016 offers several different types of speaking opportunities
including:

*	General Session Talks: A General Session presentation should be on a
topic of interest to the general SIPNOC audience, and are generally 30
minutes long (including time for Q&A).
*	General Session Panel Discussions: Panels are sessions with a
moderator and a team of experts. The panel moderator should submit an
abstract on the panel topic, a list of panelists, and how the panel will be
organized. Panel selection is based on the importance, originality, focus
and timeliness of the topic, expertise of proposed panelists, as well as the
potential for informative and controversial discussion.
*	SIPNOC “Super-Sessions”: These run for 1-2 hours, providing time
to focus in-depth on a variety of issues important to the SIPNOC community.
Topics can include a review of SIP RFCs and standards development, the
regulatory environment, etc.
*	Research Topics: Researchers are invited to present short summaries
of their work for operator feedback. Topics may include call routing,
network performance, statistical measurement and analysis and protocol
development and implementation. Studies presented may be works in progress.
Researchers from academia, government, and industry are encouraged to
present.
*	BOFs: BOFs (Birds of a Feather sessions) are informal sessions on
topics which are of interest to a portion of the SIPNOC community. BOFs may
be held in break‐out areas or in an unscheduled room. Requests for
scheduled BOFs can be made at any time, including on site at the conference.
