Expand your Professional Network at LACNIC 38-LACNOG 2022
26/09/2022
LACNIC events have always sought ways to maintain open participation channels for the technical community. This was accentuated by the pandemic, which prompted us to actively and permanently search for effective interaction spaces for both remote and face-to-face participation.
In line with this, I have put together a quick guide to show the various participation spaces that will be provided at the LACNIC 38- LACNOG 2022 event which will take place from 3 to 7 October in the city of Santa Cruz, Bolivia.
Before reading on, make sure you register and check out the details of the program we have put together for the upcoming event: technical panels marking LACNIC’s 20th anniversary, technical presentations at LACNOG, panels for small ISPs, IPv6 tutorials, an interconnection lab, among many other activities.
Hybrid event. Below you will find information about some of the spaces and platforms for interaction available to both virtual as well as to on-site participants.
Zoom events. This October, remote participants will be able to follow LACNIC 38-LACNOG 2022 from Zoom Events. For some sessions, the virtual meeting will offer simultaneous transcription and interpretation services in Spanish, English, and Portuguese, as well as a space for participants to share their questions with the speakers. Check out the agenda to find the sessions you would like to attend and see which services are available.
To access this platform, all you need is a Zoom account upgraded to its latest version. If you don’t have a Zoom account, click here to sign up.

Unlike Zoom webinars, Zoom Events include an event lobby that allows you to chat with other active participants, shows which parallel sessions are being held each day, allows exploring information about sessions and speakers, and creating your own personalized calendar with the sessions you would like to attend.
Sessions are also transmitted via YouTube Live. If you join the event through this platform, keep in mind that it is broadcast in the language used by each speaker and that there is no chat feature or Q&A space.
Discord.For several events now, we have been using a Discord channel where participants can comment and interact on specific or general topics as they are discussed during the week. Use this link to join: https://discord.gg/7jFQFnTzap
