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. It is also a valuable opportunity for participants and sponsors to hear and contribute to discussions concerning current and developing Internet networking technologies and trends.
Technical training takes place from 19 to 22 February, partner meetings on 23 February, with the conference from 24 to 26 February, and the APNIC AGM on 27 February 2025.
The Internet Society has been a key supporter of APRICOT over the years, particularly its capacity-building and training programs. This partnership has helped develop the next generation of technical experts and leaders in the region. This year, the Internet Society is co-sponsoring 26 Fellows to attend the event. The Internet Society Foundation is also a Gold Sponsor.
You can catch Internet Society and Internet Society Foundation staff at the following sessions as well as the Exhibition Area. Be sure to follow all discussions via the conference hashtag #apricot2025.
