Reminder to Submit Presentations for NANOG 95

[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 now
accepting proposals for in-person or live remote presentations at all
sessions of NANOG 95, taking place in Arlington, TX on 27-29 October 2025.
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 spotlight presentations throughout NANOG 95 focusing on
Enterprise Networks and Wireless Technology. Topics can range from LAN
operations, to using cellular networks for emergency connectivity, to
LoRaWAN, to campus Wifi and mobile networks, to new and innovative methods
of connecting devices across a wider physical area.

In addition to the spotlight topic, we are always accepting talks on other
topics relevant to our audience. Based on feedback from our recent surveys,
we have seen numerous requests for the following topics:

   -

   Network Automation - designing networks for AI traffic, different
   approaches for different objectives
   -

   Future of Networking - forecast for changes in technology, design,
   applications, protocols
   -

   Research & Education - what research is happening now in network
   operations
   -

   Security - various protocols and developments, AI implications
   -

   Optical Networking - technology, practices, deployment options,
   troubleshooting
   -

   Tutorials - at all skill levels, IPv6, BGP, Segment Routing, DNS, MPLS,
   VxLAN
   -

   See the NANOG Call for Presentations
   <https://nanog.org/program/call-presentations/> for an extensive listing
   of requested topics


We are looking to schedule 1,600 minutes of content between General Session
and Breakout Rooms for NANOG 95, and have confirmed 285 minutes to date -
so don’t wait!   Presentation abstracts are welcomed now and draft slides
should be submitted no later than Monday, 08 September 2025 to be
considered for NANOG 95.

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 and content.
   -

   FINAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE Draft presentation slides should be submitted
   prior to the published deadline for slides (08 September 2025).
   -

   PC evaluates submissions to determine presentations for the agenda
   (posted on 22 September 2025).
   -

   Submitters notified.
   -

   Agenda assembled and posted.
   -

   Final presentation slides must be submitted prior to the published
   deadline for slides (20 October 2025 for in person + live remote
   presentations).


If you think you have an interesting topic but want feedback or suggestions
for developing an idea into a presentation, please email the PC (
nanogpc () nanog org), and a representative will respond to you in a timely
manner. 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!
