APNIC proudly supported and participated at the 24th Pacific Network Operators Group (PacNOG 24) meeting in Apia, Samoa, from 24 to 28 June 2019.

The event welcomed 70 attendees from several economies in the Pacific for a one-day conference (including tutorials) and four days of intensive workshops. View the agenda for more information.
