Dear NANOG 96 Community,
As NANOG 96 comes to a close, we would like to thank all of you who have
made San Francisco a memorable experience on the journey to NANOG 100!
If you haven't already, we invite you to share your thoughts by completing
one or all of the daily NANOG 96 surveys at nanog.org/surveys. Your
feedback helps shape future NANOG events. The surveys will remain open
through the end of the day on Friday. You don’t have to answer every
question, and we really do want to hear what you have to say. So far 97
responses have been received across the 3 days, but we’d love to get to
200!
We can't wait to see you at our upcoming events:
NANOG 97 <https://nanog.org/events/nanog-97/>: June 2026 - Bellevue, WA
(hosted by AWS <https://aws.amazon.com/>)
NANOG 98: October 2026 - Miami, FL
NANOG 99: February 2027 - Boston, MA
NANOG 100: June 2027 - San Francisco, CA
Thanks for being part of what makes NANOG so special.
With appreciation,
The NANOG Staff
Jonathan, Valerie, De’, Greg, Shawn, Leigh + Elizabeth
