The Open vSwitch project, a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project,
9+
will host its eleventh annual conference focused on Open vSwitch and
10+
OVN on November 19 - 20, 2025. The conference will be hybrid. Talks
11+
will be presented live during the conference. We are planning to
12+
use an online system that allows for text-based discussion, and live
13+
Q&amp;A while the talk is happening for virtual attendees. Each talk will have time
14+
reserved following the presentation for further discussion via both
15+
text, over video and audio, and live with the presenters. Each talk will
16+
be given once.
17+
</p>
18+
<p>
19+
The in-person location for the conference this year will be at the
20+
Hotel Botanique (<a href="https://www.hotelbotanique.com/">here</a>) in Prague, CZ.

<h2>How to propose a Talk</h2>
25+
26+
<p>
27+
We are seeking long and short ("lightning") talks on topics related
28+
to Open vSwitch and OVN. We expect long talks to last 25 minutes
29+
with an additional 5 minutes for questions, and short talks to last
30+
10 minutes.
31+
</p>
32+
33+
<p>
34+
We will also accept proposals for panel discussions and
35+
workshops. Please submit them as full talks and make it clear in the
36+
description that you are proposing a panel or workshop.
37+
</p>
38+
39+
<p>
40+
Please submit proposals
41+
to <a href="mailto:ovscon@openvswitch.org">ovscon@openvswitch.org</a>
42+
by September 8. Proposals should include:

48+

58+
<p>Speakers should plan to attend the event in person. Travel and
