On-site registration and badge pick-up for NANOG 86 is open this afternoon from 4:00pm - 6:00pm pacific in Ray Dolby Ballroom, level 5. 

NANOG 86 Hackathon - Hackathon began on Friday, October 7 and will continue today in hybrid format - participate via Zoom, or at the conference venue in Hollywood Studio ABC, mezzanine level. The Hackathon welcome, introduction, infrastructure tutorial, idea-pitching, and team-forming session was held over Zoom. You can view that session here.  Yesterday was the official start of the hacking via Zoom and Slack. Even if you are not participating in the Hackathon, we encourage you to attend the team presentations starting at 4:00pm PDT, either via Zoom or in Hollywood Studio ABC, as you are able.

Lightning Talks - The Program Committee has begun accepting Lightning Talk submissions for 7-10 minute speaking slots to be presented in-person on Tuesday, October 18 or Wednesday, October 19. 

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.
