NANOG Community at large,
The NANOG Program Committee (PC) would like to remind you that we are accepting proposals through Monday, 28 April 2025, for in-person or live remote presentations at all sessions of NANOG 94, taking place in Denver, CO on 09-11 June 2025.
Sometimes, we deal with our own projects so regularly that they no longer seem cool or interesting to us - but they are to other people! Sometimes you want to present, but don’t know what other people want to learn about. During every NANOG Conference we ask everyone to answer the surveys and tell us what they want to hear about at a future conference. Some of the most recent answers are below. If you have a presentation on any of these general or specific topic areas, your community would love to hear from you!
Hardware
More hardware talks
Would like to see a talk on different ASIC chip families, like a showdown of different generations. (capabilities, pros/cons)

Professional and career development, especially Kam Agahian and Matt Ringel
Risk-based financial decision making
Conversation on transitioning from a purely operations role to operations and management
Computing and internet history

Open source/freely available tools are out there that don't suck for moving data quickly and efficiently (editor’s note: there was grumbling about globus being expensive)
