APRICOT, short for Asia Pacific Regional Internet Conference on Operational Technologies, is the premier Internet Operations and Technology summit in the Asia Pacific region. It serves as a crucial platform for Internet service providers, backbone and regional networks, web hosting facilities, firewalls, and Intranets to come together and share knowledge on building and operating complex Internet systems. Every year, APRICOT hosts a nine-day summit consisting of seminars, workshops, tutorials, conference sessions, and other forums.

The summit aims to spread and exchange the skills and understanding necessary to develop a robust Internet infrastructure in the Asia-Pacific region. APRICOT attracts top Internet experts from around the world who teach, present, and engage in human networking. It also offers excellent opportunities for sponsors to target their products and services at the decision-makers in the Asia Pacific Internet community.

With its focus on technology transfer and affordability, APRICOT remains committed to providing a high-quality event that supports outreach activities in less developed areas of the Asia Pacific region. Since its inception in 1996, APRICOT has evolved and grown, forging partnerships with organizations like APNIC and expanding its scope beyond network operations. It is organized by APNOG and supported by community volunteers, with future events planned well in advance to allow for community participation.

As APRICOT continues to innovate and adapt, it remains the go-to summit for Internet professionals in the Asia Pacific region
