I guess I'm not aware of the hotel situation. I saw one was booked, the other was not.

Yup. Post pandemic, the unfortunate hotel situation, and a non-zero number of companies still have tight travel budgets.
It's been slowly creeping back though.
Mike,
The numbers have not bounced back to pre-pandemic levels, and it doesn't help that NANOG 90 has had some hotel issues.

I haven't been to a NANOG meeting in a while. While going through the attendee list for NANOG 90 to try to book meetings with people, I noticed a lack of (or extremely minimal) attendance by several organizations that have traditionally had several employees
attend. I've also noticed that some organizations I had an interest in were only sending sales people, not technical people.
How long has this been a thing? I remember when I attended years ago that there simply wasn't enough time to meet with technical people from all of the organizations I wanted to meet with. Now the calendar is looking a bit dry.
