Below is a summary of key details and dates from the Call For Presentations on the NANOG website, which can be found at https://www.nanog.org/program/call-presentations/. *Requested Topics: * We are aiming to spotlight presentations throughout NANOG 93 focusing on Automation. Topics can range from best practices, to “what I learned setting up my first automated network”, and/or a panel discussion on how ISPs, Research + Education, Enterprise and other industry sectors have implemented automation. Based on feedback from our recent surveys, we have seen numerous requests for the following topics: ● Network Automation - practical implementations, how to get started ● Kubernetes - implementation and best practices ● Future of Networking - forecast for changes in technology, design, applications ● Research & Education - what research is happening now in network operations ● Security - various protocols of, developments in, problems/solutions ● Optical Networking - technology, practices, deployment options ● Tutorials - at all skill levels, IPv6, BGP, Segment Routing, DNS, MPLS, VxLAN We are looking to schedule* 1,600 minutes of content *between General Session and Breakout Rooms for NANOG 93, and have confirmed 255 minutes to date - so don’t wait! *Presentation abstracts are welcomed now and draft slides should be submitted no later than Monday, 06 January 2025 to be considered for NANOG 93.* Presentations may cover current technologies, soon-to-be deployed technologies, and industry innovation. Vendors are welcome to submit talks which cover relevant technologies and capabilities, but presentations should not be promotional or discuss proprietary solutions.

NANOG Staff is available to assist with slide templates upon request from the submitter. ● Panel and Track submissions should provide a topic list and intended/confirmed participants in the abstract. ● PC reviews the slides and continues to work with Submitter as needed to develop the topic and content. ● *FINAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE *Draft presentation slides should be submitted prior to the published deadline for slides (06 January 2025). ● PC evaluates submissions to determine presentations for the agenda (posted on 13 January 2025). ● Submitters notified. ● Agenda assembled and posted. ● *Final presentation slides* must be submitted prior to the published deadline for slides (27 January 2025 for in person + live remote presentations).
