There is a group called PTC.. Pacific Telecommunications Council.. That¹s pretty much the biggest I can think of (lot¹s of MSO¹s.. Operators, etc.) and it¹s in Hawaii every year.
PTC is not your typical "-NOG" or "-PF" forum. It's very salesy in nature and revolves around operators scheduling meetings in hotel suites on an hourly basis to talk commercial matters, not necessarily peering and operations a la "-NOG's" and "-PF's". If you've been to a Capacity Pick-Your-Region meeting, PTC is like that. Just bigger. The plenaries at PTC are poorly attended (IMHO), quite costly, and the content is not the kind you would find at NANOG, APRICOT, RIPE, APF, GPF, AfPIF, e.t.c. Mark.
