Monday Newcomers Lunch
The Newcomers Lunch will be held at 12:00 pm in Bayview Room on Monday,
February 18. 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.
This event is by invitation only; you should already have received a
calendar invite from events(a)nanog.org shortly. If you do not have the
