APNIC 60 in Da Nang, Viet Nam is fast approaching, including four days of deep dive workshops from 4 to 7 September.
The APNIC Academy workshops are designed to provide network engineers, architects, systems administrators, and other technical staff with a hands-on, actionable learning experience.
Each workshop is delivered across four days, with the option to focus on Advanced Routing or Network Management, Monitoring & Security. The workshops are delivered by technical trainers with expertise across network design and operations, telecommunications, and data centres.
If you register by 31 July, you’ll receive a discounted early-bird rate.
Advanced routing
The Advanced Routing Workshop (Train-the-Trainer) is a comprehensive, hands-on program designed for experienced network professionals seeking to deepen their understanding of BGP and advanced routing concepts. This workshop assumes a good working knowledge of routing fundamentals and builds upon these to explore sophisticated BGP implementations, traffic engineering techniques, and security considerations in today’s complex network environments.
By the end of this intensive workshop, participants will be equipped with advanced routing expertise to design, implement, and troubleshoot complex routing infrastructures that meet the demands of modern network environments.
This workshop is part of the Train-the-Trainer program, which is catered to participants who are community champions planning to conduct training and lead capacity-building efforts in their own local community.

Network management, monitoring, and security
The Network Management, Monitoring & Security Workshop will provide practical skills and knowledge for securing networks, managing complex systems, and effectively monitoring performance to minimize downtime and risks.
This workshop introduces key concepts in network security, management, and monitoring. Participants will learn about relevant protocols and explore tools for security controls, configuration management, and network telemetry.
Participants are expected to have a basic understanding of network operations, Internet technologies, the OSI reference model, TCP/IP, and basic command-line (CLI) skills. Check out the full course outlines, learning outcomes, and prerequisites.
