Hi Jonny, all,
I'm going to be in a meeting by the time of the VC you sent last week. I temptatively accepted it, but I won't be able to attend the VC unless the other meeting finishes sooner than expected.
From my side:
Quantum and Time & Frequency Networks
Lars and Raimena confirmed a joint session. With this, only an answer about Jørgen Ellegård is pending (Josva is the contact).
Sustainability
Nicol Nogradi is on extended leave. I tried to get in contact with her colleague and I'm waiting for his answer.
Sebastian Neuner is not answering me. As Jani had two ideas (Juha Onionen and N.N (?)), maybe it's worth extending the 15-min slot for them. Unless N.N is Nicol Nogradi, of course.
Network Arch to support AI
Sebastiano was on annual leave. He came back on Tuesday. I pinged him again today and I'm waiting for his answer.
In case I have the opportunity to join the call, I will. If not, let me know if there are any pending tasks for me.
Best regards,
Maria Isabel Gandia Carriedo

Subject: Tentative: NDN Conference Speaker confirmation for the sessions
When: Thu 19/03/2026 15:30 - 16:00
Where: https://sunet.zoom.us/j/62635121606?pwd=UdygL0CtcyQMqH0vpoarfspTEVtTWh.1
Dear Josva,
I have a question about the speaker policy, mainly because the two initial sessions on Quantum and Time and Frequency Networks were squeezed into a single session. As we initially had 6 proposals and some of the proposed speakers were already reached by Jani, we were thinking on having a single 30-min slot with two speakers (two presenters from both EE-FI-SE and DK led projects, 15 min each, including questions).
The same may happen for the Sustainability track, where we have a proposal for two short presentations of real use cases (Kalix, Kaijani) in a single slot.
The speaker policy dictates that invited session speakers have the conference fee waived if they are external, while Nordic NREN employed presenters pay a reduced fee of 250 EUR. Lightning Talk speakers pay the early bird fee (unless they are Nordic NREN employed speakers, which pay 250 EUR).
In those hybrid cases (two speakers on a single slot), does the policy remain the same as for session speakers?
BTW, who offered to contact Kalix and Kaijani? Or, in any case, do you have any contact details I can use to contact them?
Thank you in advance and have a nice weekend.
Best regards,
Maria Isabel Gandia Carriedo

Hi all,
there are a lot of sessions speakers according to the programme that haven’t confirmed as of yet.
Please update the https://portal.nordu.net/spaces/NDN2026/pages/294715428/Sessions
I would be good to have this in place as much as possible before next Thursday. I have also sent out a meeting to go through this is there are any obstacles we need to discuss online.
Have a nice weekend!
Best regards,
Jonny
Dear colleagues
It took a little longer than expected, but now I’ve been over all the session descriptions and shortened them. I suggest that as a next step, Susanne finds her old trusted quillie and the red ink and go over the texts, fixing whatever nonsense I’ve managed to add and then session responsible takes a quick final look, write here if there is anything needing discussion or just a short “it all looks good” if that should be the case.
We should not spend ages on this now - rather time on getting speakers in.
All the best,
Josva

Dear all!
I’ve taken a look at the session descriptions we have so far and while they all look good, I fear that some are perhaps making promises we cannot keep, simply due to the fact that we do not yet have the speakers. I am not suggesting we should through it all away, but keep the longer texts as a personal reminder for who we would like to ensure as speakers and what we would like to achieve with the session, and then create some shorter more generic texts to go on the initial version of the programme. Then once we have speakers confirmed, if we do our job well, parts go into the description of the actual presentations and parts may move back into the session description.
Since, I am in the lucky situation that I can decide what I spend my time on - only having to consult my wife ;-) - I can volunteer to run through the texts together with Susanne. If there are others that feels the urge, please come forward, or if you think, I am completely out on a limb, speak up.
Cheers,
Josva

Hi all,
I have created a page with a speaker list that eventually will hold the complete overview of speakers and their registration status. I will go through the individual session pages and pick the names from there as per your input – however, it would be amazing if you could add the e-mail address of the speaker in the speaker list once confirmed.
When you have a speaker confirmed, drop me a note and I will share the relevant registration link that you can send to your speaker.
We will publish the programme early next week, so if you want to have an extra look at your session description, now is a good time. 😊
Best,
Susanne

Dear all,
I would like to check a couple of things about the session speakers to invite, but for some things I’m not fully sure:
1. Enabling Access session
I think we should leave some opening for the submissions, so in that light should we invite only Stefan (who will be no doubt at NDN conference) ? I think we should be able to have 2 decent submissions to complete the session - Thoughts?
2. Why project fails session - This is not in the programme grid anymore. Was it killed or repurposed?
3. Disruption session -
I really like the "History of the NREN's are we falling behind” do we have a name for a person that could do such a talk?
We have Michiel - I’ll email him today. What about Leif? What would he talk about ? We would need 3 speakers here
4. What about eduroam? I feel eduroam it’s often neglected. It can be in the enabling access, can be in the network, can be in the community we serve. It would be good not to forget about it, if anything because it’s one of the good thing our community is known for. And the nordics are v active there.
Thanks!
Licia
