Monday Newcomers Lunch
The Newcomers Lunch will be held at 12:00 p.m. in Capitol Ballroom Halls 5-7 (4th floor) on Monday, June 25th. This lunch is held especially for our newcomers to meet veteran NANOG colleagues and to become more familiar with NANOG meetings and traditions – we encourage you to attend! Each lunch table will be hosted by a NANOG Mentor(s) who will provide an overview of a typical NANOG meeting. The lunch will provide Newcomers an opportunity to discuss NANOG, network with NANOG leadership (past and present), and with each other. Simply stated, it is a time for NANOG networking and finding answers to any questions you may have.
