The NANOG 98 CFP is open through 21-September-2026 (joke included!)

NANOG Community at large,

It’s still hot outside, and hopefully your presentation ideas are baking
too! We wanted to send one more reminder that we are accepting proposals
through Monday, 21 September 2026, for in-person or live remote
presentations at all sessions of NANOG 98 taking place in Miami, Florida on
19-21 October 2026.

Our spotlight topic for NANOG 98 is “Global Connectivity”, but we accept
presentations on all relevant topics. The work you do and the ideas you
have are interesting and important, and we’d love to hear more about it! We
have had repeated requests for presentations from and about enterprise
(stub) networks.

Perhaps you’re having trouble figuring out what the NANOG audience would
like to see. During every NANOG Conference, we ask everyone to answer the
surveys and tell us what they want to hear about at a future conference.
Some of the most recent answers are below - plus signs (+) mean repeated
requests!
