Internet Day SF 2026

The goal of **Internet Day SF** is to provide training and thought leadership around any and all aspects of the Internet.

[https://internetdaysf.org/](https://internetdaysf.org/)

**This time, we are virtual only.** We will go live with the material on May 29th.

This event is a partnership between the Internet Society San Francisco and SF Bay ACM.

**Call for Presenters**

We are looking for both training and thought leadership presentations in support of the Internet.

Requirements, shared requirements for both training and thought leadership:

Send following to Ronald Petty (DM here):
* Title and Abstract (approval required)
* Provide short bio of yourself, and your email address (to sync later)

* Speaker(s) **must live and work Bay area** (if you want to present and don’t live here, we can guide you to related opportunities)
* **Ability to produce and share video by May 20th** (audio matters to!)
* Videos **must be under 30 minutes total** (shorter better, we like things to the point!)
* **Content must be open source (tools and techniques) and / or public (e.g. regulations)**
* **No advertising allowed** (unless you are sponsor – requires approval)

Further requirements, **if technical talk**:

* You **must share a single document** that has all the steps to replicate (markdown is ideal and preferred), in addition to the recording. We know not all “devices” might be readily available (aka quantum computers, but if you have the steps you might try one day!) This is required by 20th as well.

Further requirements, **if thought leadership**:

* If you are presenting on things like regulations, you must **provide the links in advance** so others can read about them before the event (aka do their homework!). This is required by 20th as well.

We are open to all levels of talks. For example, just learned a new technique in class to packet sniff, share it. Want to show people how to be safer on some social application, please do! Internet of things with AI! We are for it!

If you have any questions please DM me. Thank you for your time!
