[NANOG] The NANOG 94 CFP is open through 28-April-2025

[NANOG Program via NANOG <nanog () lists nanog org>]

NANOG Community at large,

The NANOG Program Committee (PC) would like to remind you that we are
accepting proposals through Monday, 28 April 2025,  for in-person or live
remote presentations at all sessions of NANOG 94, taking place in Denver,
CO on 09-11 June 2025.

Sometimes, we deal with our own projects so regularly that they no longer
seem cool or interesting to us - but they are to other people! Sometimes
you want to present, but don’t know what other people want to learn about.
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. If you have a presentation on any of these
general or specific topic areas, your community would love to hear from you!
