NANOG Community at large, It’s still hot outside, and hopefully your presentation ideas are baking too! We wanted to send one more reminder that we are accepting proposals through Monday, 21 September 2026, for in-person or live remote presentations at all sessions of NANOG 98 taking place in Miami, Florida on 19-21 October 2026. Our spotlight topic for NANOG 98 is “Global Connectivity”, but we accept presentations on all relevant topics. The work you do and the ideas you have are interesting and important, and we’d love to hear more about it! We have had repeated requests for presentations from and about enterprise (stub) networks. Perhaps you’re having trouble figuring out what the NANOG audience would like to see. 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 - plus signs (+) mean repeated requests!
