Conditions such as these for an event-centric organization, such as NANOG, can be devastating. However, change, whether welcome or not, always creates opportunities for reflection and potentially â growth."* - NANOG Executive Director Edward McNair *The year 2020 introduced a concerted effort to connect with our community virtually.* Production and organization pivots included NANOG developing a method to engage a large attendee participation via virtual platforms. NANOG had previously webcasted meetings before 2020, but had never before interacted with the audience while live streaming. *Read the full annual report *to find out more about our successes and growing pains during this unprecedented + historic year. *2020 ANNUAL REPORT <https://www.nanog.org/resources/annual-report/>*
