NANOG 78 Attendees,
Welcome to NANOG 78 in San Francisco, CA. The Program Committee has begun accepting Lightning Talk submissions for 10-minute speaking slots on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon.
A lightning talk is a very short presentation/speech by any attendee on any topic relevant to the NANOG audience. These are limited to ten minutes; this will be strictly enforced. If you have a topic that's timely and interesting, we encourage you to consider presenting it.
Please submit an abstract via https://www.nanog.org/meetings/submit-lightning-talk/ and you'll be notified the night before if you've been selected.
If you have any questions please contact nanogpc(a)nanog.org<mailto:nanogpc@nanog.org>. Come share your ideas and insights with your fellow attendees.
Thank You.
