** Inside a N96 Keynote: Q+A with Meta's Omar Baldonado------------------------------------------------------------
When AI Hits the Network: What Meta Learned the Hard WayNANOG recently caught up with Baldonado for a closer look at his upcoming Keynote “AI Data Center Networking: Lessons from Meta’s Evolution.”
Attendees can expect a candid look at Meta’s evolution, from early design assumptions that turned out to be the most wrong, to the cultural shifts required when “everything that isn't a GPU-local error appears to be a network error.”
Check out the interview and then show up ready with your own questions.

** Don’t Miss the Community IXP BoF (Birds of a Feather) at N96!------------------------------------------------------------
If You Run a Community Internet Exchange Point (IXP) or Curious About Starting One —You Need to be Here!
We’ll swap stories, share lessons learned, and talk about what’s working (and what we wish we’d known) in building successful IXPs.
Commercial IXPs are welcome to join the BoF, but the focus will be on building up community-based IXPs. Have a great BoF idea for a future meeting? Submit it below.
