OARC 46 Begins Tomorrow in Edinburgh
OARC 46 begins tomorrow, Saturday, 16 May 2026, at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre in Edinburgh, Scotland.
We are looking forward to welcoming the DNS community for two days of technical presentations, operational discussion, and community connection. Whether you are joining us in person or following along remotely, the workshop programme brings together researchers, operators, developers, and others working across the DNS ecosystem.
The full programme is available on the OARC 46 event page, including the detailed timetable, speaker information, and presentation schedule.
Attendee reminders
For those joining us in Edinburgh, the main workshop programme will take place in the Lomond Suite at EICC. We will hold registration, breaks, and lunches in Strathblane Hall on the same floor, near the main entrance.
Attendees can also find practical event information on the OARC 46 Useful Information page, including venue details, Wi-Fi information, QR codes, delegate discounts, and the EICC accessibility guide.
A small number of in-person tickets are still available, and remote registration remains open. Our team has already submitted the final catering details, so we will do our best to accommodate anyone signing up late for in-person registration.
Lightning talks
We will be accepting a limited number of lightning talk submissions for Day 2, Session 4. This will be for in-person presentations only.
The lightning talk submission window will be open on Saturday, 16 May, from 10:00–17:00 BST / 09:00–16:00 UTC. We will accept up to five in-person lightning presentations. Each lightning talk will be five minutes long, with no live Q&A period.
Lightning talk topics must be related to DNS, and accepted talks will be broadcast live and recorded as part of the workshop. More information is available on the event website.
Follow along
Remote attendees and community members can follow the workshop through the live stream and the Mattermost “Workshops” channel. We will prepare and publish presentation slides and recordings for future reference once they are edited.
We encourage attendees to join the conversation in Mattermost, connect with others during breaks, and take part in the hallway track throughout the workshop.
Thank you to the DNS-OARC community
OARC 46 would not be possible without the support of our sponsors, patrons, members, volunteers, Programme Committee, speakers, and community participants.
Thank you for helping make this workshop possible.
We look forward to seeing everyone in Edinburgh.
