NANOG Community, The NANOG Program Committee (PC) is now accepting proposals for all sessions at NANOG 82, happening June 14-16, 2021. The PC also welcomes suggestions for speakers and topics. Presentations at NANOG meetings are a gathering of the industry’s top minds. Join us, as we spark imagination, encourage dialog, and drive new solutions to our greatest networking challenges. Presentations may cover current technologies, soon-to-be deployed technologies, and industry innovation. Vendors are welcome to submit talks which cover relevant technologies and capabilities, but presentations should not be promotional, or discuss proprietary solutions.
