NANOG Community, The NANOG Program Committee (PC) would like to remind you that we are accepting proposals for in-person or live remote presentations at all sessions of NANOG 86, a hybrid meeting, taking place in Hollywood, California on 17-19 Oct 2022. Below is a summary of key details and dates from the Call For Presentations on the NANOG website, which can be found at https://www.nanog.org/program/call-presentations/. Given by many of the industry’s top minds, presentations at NANOG meetings are meant to spark the imagination, encourage dialogue, 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. Requested Topics: Based on feedback from our survey results, we have seen numerous requests for the following topics: - Network Automation - Tutorials (IPv6, BGP, Segment Routing, DNS) - Security (developments in, problems/solutions, various protocols of).

NANOG Staff is available to assist with slide templates upon request from the submitter. - Panel and Track submissions should provide a topic list and intended/confirmed participants in the abstract. - PC reviews the slides and continues to work with Submitter as needed to develop the topic. - FINAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE Draft presentation slides should be submitted prior to the published deadline for slides (15 Aug 2022). - PC evaluates submissions to determine presentations for the agenda (posted on 3 Oct 2022). - Agenda assembled and posted. - Submitters notified. - Final presentation slides must be submitted prior to the published deadline for slides (10 Oct 2022 for in person + live remote presentations).
