Dear NANOG 97 Community, As NANOG 97 comes to a close, we would like to thank each of you for helping to make our return to Bellevue such a memorable experience as we continue the journey toward NANOG 100. If you haven't already, we invite you to share your feedback by completing the NANOG 97 surveys at nanog.org/surveys. Your feedback helps shape future NANOG events, and we truly value hearing from you. The surveys will remain open through the end of the day on Friday. You don’t have to answer every question, but we hope you will take a few minutes to tell us about your experience. So far 147 responses have been received across the 3 days, but we’d love to get to 200! We also encourage you to stay involved with NANOG beyond the meeting. Volunteer by joining a committee, nominate someone to join the Board of Directors, participate in elections, make a donation, submit a talk, or help welcome someone new to the community. NANOG continues to grow because people like you choose to contribute, connect, and help move the community forward. We can't wait to see you at our upcoming events: NANOG 98: October 2026 - Miami, FL hosted by Larus NANOG 99: February 2027 - Boston, MA hosted by Towardex NANOG 100: June 2027 - San Francisco, CA hosted by Kentik NANOG 101: October 2027 - New Orleans, LA Interested in supporting a future NANOG event?
