| 8 | + The Open vSwitch project, a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project, |
| 9 | + will host its tenth annual conference focused on Open vSwitch and |
| 10 | + OVN on November 20&21, 2024. The conference will be hybrid. Talks |
| 11 | + will be presented live during the conference. We are planning to |
| 12 | + use an online system that allows for text-based discussion, and live |
| 13 | + Q&A while the talk is happening for virtual attendees. Each talk will have time |
| 14 | + reserved following the presentation for further discussion via both |
| 15 | + text, over video and audio, and live with the presenters. Each talk will |
| 16 | + be given once. |
