Dear NANOG 92 Attendees,
Today is the first day of NANOG 92, host sponsored by Toronto Internet Exchange, here are a few reminders for today, Monday, 21 Oct, 2024.
IMPORTANT Hotel Updates
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 today
- T-shirts will not be handed out today
With those updates out of the way, we now return to our regularly scheduled communications:

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.
Please 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.
