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 91, taking place in Kansas City, MO on 10-12 Jun 2024. 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/.
Requested Topics:
We are aiming to showcase presentations throughout NANOG 91 focusing on Cloud Operations. Topics can range from best practices, to “what I learned setting up my cloud network”, a panel discussion on how ISPs, Research + Education, Enterprise and other industry sectors use the cloud; and/or security in the cloud.
Based on feedback from our recent surveys, we have seen numerous requests for the following topics:
-
Network Automation - practical uses, how to get started
-
Kubernetes - implementation and best practices
-
Future of Networking - forecast for changes in technology, design, applications
-
Research & Education - what research is happening now in network operations
-
Security - various protocols of, developments in, problems/solutions
-
Optical Networking - technology, practice, deployment options
-
Tutorials - all levels, IPv6, BGP, Segment Routing, DNS, MPLS, VXLAN
We are looking to schedule 1,600 minutes of content between General Session and Breakout Rooms for NANOG 91, and have confirmed 75 minutes to date - so don’t wait! Presentation abstracts and draft slides should be submitted no later than Monday, 22 Apr 2024 to be considered for NANOG 91.
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.
The primary speaker, moderator, or author should submit a presentation proposal and abstract via the Program Committee Tool at: https://www.nanog.org/meetings/submit-presentation/

Timeline for submission and proposal review:

Submitter enters abstract (and draft slides if possible) in the Program Committee Tool prior to the deadline for slide submission.

PC performs initial review and assigns a “shepherd” to help develop the submission — typically within 2 weeks.

Submitter develops draft slides of talk, if not already submitted with the initial proposal. Please submit initial draft slides early — the PC does not evaluate submissions until draft slides are available for review. 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.

Otherwise, submit your talk, tutorial, track, or panel proposal to the Program Committee Tool at your earliest convenience. We look forward to reviewing your submission!
