The Network of the Future (NoF) conference is a premier annual conference that covers advances in the area of Future Internet design, with emphasis on enabling technologies, architectures and services. The conference aims at providing a forum for researchers, students and professionals to exchange ideas, share their experiences, and discuss their research results around a single-track of technical sessions, three Keynotes and a Tutorial. NoF is also hosting a Demo Session of the IRTF Network Management Research Group (NMRG) on 3-4 October.

After the successful editions in Brisbane, Australia (2010), in Paris, France (2011 and 2014), in Tunis, Tunisia (2012), in Pohang, South Korea (2013), in Montreal, Canada (2015), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (2016), London, United Kingdom (2017), and Poznan, Poland (2018), the tenth edition of the NoF Conference will be held in Rome, Italy.
