Hong Kong Network Operators’ Group (HKNOG) is a non-profit, community-driven, vendor-neutral platform established to facilitate the exchange of technical information and best practices among Internet network operators and engineers in Hong Kong and around the world. By organizing regular conferences and workshops, HKNOG creates a collaborative environment where industry professionals can discuss critical infrastructure topics such as BGP routing, peering, network security, and the adoption of emerging technologies like IPv6 and automation. These gatherings serve as a vital hub for networking, allowing local and global experts to share real-world operational experiences and strengthen the overall security, stability, resilience and performance of the Internet.
In addition to this website, we are also using Facebook page, Linkedin group and Discussion group to exchange technical and operational knowledge and information, and to distribute information about HKNOG activities and other activities relevant to HKNOG community.
Let us make better use of these channels to enhance the overall quality of Internet infrastructure.
