Dear NANOG 92 Attendees –

As we get ready to kickoff NANOG 92, sponsored by Toronto Internet Exchange, here are a few reminders and updates for today, Sunday, 20 October 2024.

IMPORTANT Transportation and Hotel Updates

Toronto marathon (8am - 2pm approximate) may cause delays getting into the hotel

Hotel under repair

- Construction in the South Tower guest rooms (noise potential from 7am - 6pm)

- Conference Space Escalators and Elevators are working inconsistently. From the guest room towers take the elevators to CL (conference level) and walk across the sky bridge from the hotel to the conference center. Look for the NANOG directional signage.

Shipping/Customs delays

- Member professional photos are canceled for Monday

- T-shirts will not be handed out on Sunday or Monday

With those updates out of the way, we now return to our regularly scheduled communications:

On-site registration and badge pick-up for NANOG 92 is open this afternoon from 4:00pm - 6:00pm EDT in Metro East. Monday to Wednesday, show your badge when ordering food at the Chart Room Bar + Lounge for a 10% discount.

Lightning Talks - The Program Committee has begun accepting Lightning Talk submissions for 10-minute speaking slots to be presented in person on Tuesday, 22 October, and Wednesday, 23 October.

A lightning talk is a very short presentation/speech by any attendee attending in person 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.

Submit an abstract, and select Lightning Talk from the Session Type drop down menu. Attach any slides you wish to include to your submission. The submission deadline is Tuesday, 22 October, 3:00 pm EDT. You will be notified by text message if you have been selected the evening prior to your scheduled presentation.

Today’s Agenda (all times listed in EDT):

Tomorrow, NANOG 92 officially kicks off! Registration opens at 8:00am in Metro East. Breakfast will be served from 8:00am-9:45am in Metro Center. 

Wishing you a great NANOG!
