APRICOT 2021

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic disaster afflicting the globe, the APNOG Board has reluctantly agreed that APRICOT 2021 will take place primarily as an online event. It remains the Philippine APRICOT, with the dates remaining as 22nd February until 4th March 2021. APRICOT 2021 will still be produced in partnership with PhNOG, and with the support of DICT and DOST of the Government of the Philippines.

APRICOT is planning to offer online technical training running from Monday 22nd to Friday 26th February, and the APRICOT conference itself will run from Monday 1st to Thursday 4th March 2021.

More details of the structure of the online event will become available in November and December 2020.

What is APRICOT?

APRICOT is the Internet Network Operators Summit for the Asia Pacific region. The Asia Pacific Network Operators Group is the non-profit organisation created by APIA to provide APRICOT's corporate support, and overseen by the APNOG Board.
