The North American Network Operators' Group (NANOG) will hold its 71st conference in San Jose, California. The conference takes place on October 2-4, 2017.
The NANOG Program Committee seeks proposals for presentations, panels, tutorials, and track sessions for the NANOG 71 program. We welcome suggestions of potential speakers or new topic ideas. Presentations may cover technologies already deployed or soon-to-be deployed in the Internet. Vendors are welcome to submit talks which cover relevant technologies and capabilities, but presentations must not be promotional or discuss proprietary solutions. NANOG 71 submissions can be entered on the NANOG Program Committee Tool.
How To Submit
The primary speaker, moderator, or author should submit a presentation proposal and an abstract on the Program Committee Tool.
Upload draft slides as soon as possible so the Program Committee can understand the intended structure and level of detail covered by the talk. Draft slides are not required for a proposal to be initiated, but they are usually expected before the Program Committee can definitively accept a submission. The following information should be included in the proposal:
Author's name(s)
