The complete event management platform built for NOGs and the peering community. Registration, CfP, check-in, sponsor management and security — all under one roof. Zero vendor lock-in, self-hosted on your infrastructure.
CtxEvent is built modularly. Every NOG is different — you activate what you need. All modules share a single participant database, single audit trail, single security layer.
Every change to the CtxEvent codebase passes through a three-model local review before deployment. All three models run air-gapped on our own hardware. No code, no logs, no secrets ever leave our network.
// All run air-gapped · No telemetry · Local hardware only
CtxEvent is the only event platform with native BGP and routing intelligence built in. Every participant's ASN is automatically enriched — giving organisers a real picture of who's in the room.
Automatically enriches every registered participant's ASN with routing data, BGP visibility, prefix count, and RPKI validation status — no manual lookup required.
IXP memberships, peering policies, NOC contacts and facility presence pulled directly from PeeringDB — attached to participant profiles and auto-refreshed on each login.
For participant networks running RIPE Atlas probes, CtxEvent surfaces probe distribution and reachability data — turning your attendee list into a live view of internet measurement coverage.
Every registered ASN is checked against the global RPKI state. Organisers see at a glance which networks have deployed ROAs — and which are routing without validation.
Each registered ASN is checked against the MANRS Observatory API — the global routing security initiative with 1,316+ participants. Organisers see which attendees implement Filtering, Anti-Spoofing, IRR and RPKI norms.
Internet Society Pulse data enriches participant and country-level context with RPKI ROA coverage, IPv6 adoption rates and Internet Resilience Scores — sourced live from the Pulse public API.
No other event platform has this. RIPEstat, PeeringDB, RIPE Atlas, RPKI, MANRS Observatory and ISOC Pulse — six live data sources, stitched together per participant ASN. The NOG intelligence layer is not a plugin — it's the foundation CtxEvent is built on. The data graph of ASNs, IXP memberships, BGP paths and routing security posture is what makes every match, every CfP tag, and every meeting recommendation meaningfully better.
The NOG community deserves tools built by and for network engineers — not scaled-down enterprise conference software with per-attendee pricing and no concept of BGP.
