MYNOG 13 Conference 2026

MYNOG provides a forum to discuss operational issues and technologies of interest to network operators in Malaysia. . This would augur well for the industry considering the push for broadband penetration which involves rapid growth and technology evolution.

Intentions

• To provide a platform to facilitate and encourage peering & business relationships among local service providers.

• To foster industry relationship and provide insight into developments and growth trends within the domestic landscape. The event could be utilized by the local exchanges and regulators to share and get their messages across.

• Technology discussions. To provide local operators with access to the latest trends and leading edge technology directly from domestic/international subject matter experts/speakers.

• To provide a platform to advise and educate on operational best practices as every operator are part of bigger ecosystem of end-to-end connectivity.

• An opportunity for operators to compare experiences from on the job experiences for the greater good of the Internet. This would address the area from the perspective of supplier, operator and end user.

• The group intends to facilitate discussion among operators of networks in Malaysia on matters relevant to network operations, technology and planning. This would promote discussions on implementation issues that require community cooperation through coordination and cooperation among network service providers to ensure the stability of service to end users.

• Employment and networking opportunities.

• Keeping the Internet Working by the right people through the right way.

Target Audience

• Senior and Mid-level technical (operators & planning) staff of ISPs
• Network operators.
• Government, Regulators, NGO and Academic networks.
• Technical decision makers.
• Educators and trainers.

Although the main objective is educational, vendors would also be given a chance to get involved to share on newer technologies, but strictly keeping it to technology areas.

NOG are mostly Network operator related engineers & regulators. NOGs boost the professional development of technical professionals and in doing so, they help keep the Internet running smoothly. They’ve proven to be a very effective platform for knowledge exchange.

The secret ingredients: collaboration and transparency
 NOGs are important for building a healthy digital ecosystem in any economy. In commercial environments, one of the biggest challenges is organisations prioritising competition over cooperation. After all, it is rare to see staff from rival companies openly sharing their challenges or insights with each other.

This is what differentiates the community of practice that makes up a NOG. Participants recognise that there is little to be gained through secrecy at the engineering level, and much to be gained through cooperation.
