Support for NANOG Meetings


As a non-profit coordination and educational conference, NANOG discourages significant marketing/commercial presence on both the mailing list and during the meetings.

Still, with that said, there are a number of ways commericial vendors (as well as non-profits) can choose to participate and help sponsor the NANOG meetings. Many thanks to our previous supporters! If you're interested in participating, please send email to nanog-support@nanog.org.
