Call for Presentations, Demos, and Workshops
10. TSN/A Conference 2025 – Summit on Converged Networks, Compute, and Applications
The international ‘TSN/A Conference 2025’ provides a unique platform to showcase the latest developments and applications of Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) and related communication standards. This year’s conference focuses on “Practicalities and techniques on convergence for networks, compute, and applications via TSN”. The conference focuses on the convergence towards single infrastructure and platform, including the network and compute, for various kinds of applications from real-time to best effort. Therefore, we will give special consideration to proposed talks, demos, and workshops that present the developments, practical implementations, testbeds of technologies like TSN toward such convergence in support of various real use cases. We also will provide an insight standards, experiments, best practices, and technologies related to time and/or mission critical applications supported by converged networks. Such applications include, e.g., professional audio/video, industrial automation, automotive, aerospace, etc. We invite developers, engineers, and technical leaders to submit their contributions!
Please submit a paper by March 28, 2025, after reviewing the Speaker Guidelines and Milestones below. We look forward to your submission! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to reach out to our Team!

Speaker Guidelines and Milestones
Speaker Guidelines
All speakers should keep in mind that they will be presenting to experts across a broad spectrum of industries and therefore the presentations must provide a sufficiently succinct background of the topic before presenting the main idea. Product-focused "sales pitches" will not be allowed.
By submitting an abstract, you agree that you are committed to presenting at the technical conference if your abstract is selected by the committee. The submission also indicates that you are willing to give your presentation in-person unless unforeseen events make that not possible.
By submitting your contribution, you also agree that your presentation will be made available for download to all conference participants after the conference.
All selected speakers must abide by the milestones listed in order to participate. The conference language is English.
- March 28, 2025 – Deadline for Submissions
Data needed for submission:
-
- Abstract (not-to-exceed 100 words – for use in review and program guide)
- 50-word bio from each speaker
- May 2025 – Abstracts selected, and speakers notified
