CaribNOG
Events
CaribNOG gathers its community throughout the year. The Regional Meeting is the centrepiece: two three-day gatherings that bring together the Caribbean’s Internet operations community for technical exchange, executive engagement, deep-dive labs, and the human networking that has always been as central to CaribNOG as the technical programme.
The calendar extends to webinars, workshops, working group sessions, and the Caribbean Peering and Interconnection Forum. Every event is an expression of the community’s commitment to continuous learning, operational improvement, and the relationships that sustain Caribbean Internet infrastructure.
Regional Meetings
The CaribNOG Regional Meeting is the primary gathering of the Caribbean Internet operations community. Held twice per year, each meeting brings together network operators, engineers, security practitioners, policymakers, educators, sponsors, and partners for three days of structured technical exchange, executive engagement, and community formation.
The Technical Track
Serves the community’s practitioner core: network operators and engineers who build, operate, and secure Caribbean Internet infrastructure. Sessions cover routing security, IPv6 deployment, cybersecurity, network automation, IXP operations, and the operational challenges specific to the Caribbean’s infrastructure environment. Presentations are selected through a peer review process that prioritises operational relevance and practitioner experience.
The Executive Track
Serves the community’s institutional and governance constituency: policymakers, regulators, executives, and institutional leaders who depend on CaribNOG’s community for the operational intelligence their decisions require. Sessions address digital sovereignty, infrastructure investment, governance frameworks, and the strategic dimensions of Caribbean Internet development.

CaribNOG Lime Time
CaribNOG Lime Time has been part of every Regional Meeting since the community’s founding. Technical conversations continue here, new relationships form, and the Caribbean Internet community becomes fully visible to itself.
Who's Doing What Where
Who’s Doing What Where and Tales from the Trenches are permanent features of the programme. They give practitioners the space to share current operational realities from across the region and learn from each other’s experience in the field.
Island Routes
Island Routes, introduced at CaribNOG 32, takes participants directly into the host country’s digital infrastructure environment. Guided visits to data centres, cable landing sites, and critical IT facilities connect the meeting’s governance and technical conversations to the physical systems that sustain Caribbean connectivity.
The Meetings Archive
CaribNOG has convened Regional Meetings across the Caribbean since its founding, building an archive of presentations, technical discussions, and community outputs that represents the accumulated knowledge of the region’s Internet operations community. The full archive is searchable by topic, speaker, and meeting number.
Webinars and Workshops
CaribNOG’s learning programme runs year-round. Between Regional Meetings, the community gathers online and in person for webinars and workshops that extend the technical exchange and formation work each meeting begins.
Webinars bring practitioner expertise to the full community regardless of location, covering operational topics, governance updates, tool and framework introductions, and emerging issues in Caribbean Internet infrastructure. They are free to attend and archived for community members who cannot join live.
Workshops provide deeper, hands-on engagement with specific technical disciplines: routing security implementation, IPv6 configuration, RPKI deployment, network automation, and the operational frameworks Caribbean practitioners apply in their daily work.
Caribbean Peering and Interconnection Forum
The Caribbean Peering and Interconnection Forum is CaribNOG’s dedicated convening for the community of practitioners and institutions focused on advancing Caribbean interconnection infrastructure. It brings together IXP operators, content providers, network operators, regulators, and technical experts from across the region and internationally to address the specific challenges and opportunities of Caribbean peering and interconnection development.
The Forum has built the practitioner relationships, shared knowledge, and operational trust that Caribbean IXP development requires. Its outputs contribute directly to the expansion of the IXP ecosystem documented on caribixps.com.
