NANOG94 was another memorable event packed with networking, innovation, and unforgettable experiences!
This year's venue was ideal: intuitive, accessible, and well organized. Every talk and event was easy to find, and the smooth layout made navigation effortless. It was a huge success in terms of attendance, surpassing expectations, filling the venue and setting a high bar for future NANOG meetings.
This NANOG's programming was excellent, I am proud to serve on a Program Committee that shepherded such great content. And I particularly liked the talks on AI/ML and learned more about the industry movement toward congestion avoidance, which is very important to AI/ML fabrics. I am pleased to see that BGP is one of the protocols of choice. The talks have now been posted to the NANOG 94 YouTube playlist.
Unfortunately, the Security Tracks are not recorded and I happened to miss attending in person this time around – a missed opportunity for sure. I hope future security talks might be made available via unlisted links in the future.
As operators of one of the top-five largest networks in the world by number of peers, NetActuate plays a critical role in keeping the global internet resilient, secure, performant, and compliant.
Congratulations also to the NANOG Hackathon participants, particularly team "Bad Gateway," who took home the coveted Ray-Ban Wayfarer glasses sponsored by Meta. The workshops, sponsored by various vendors, were another big win, offering attendees hands-on skill building during their time at NANOG.
The highlight of the socials was undoubtedly Tuesday night's event at Meow Wolf's Convergence Station. Stepping into this surreal and interactive art experience felt like entering a different world entirely, truly challenging and delighting the senses.
Kudos to NANOG's Community Engagement Committee for hosting some outstanding events:
These were all fantastic ways to build connections while contributing positively to the local community.
NANOG 95 will take place in Arlington, Texas October 27-29th, 2025 and I hope to see you there!
