The main responsibilities of the host include:
* Provide connectivity to the conference site (at least a T1)
* Help provide ~10 PC/Macs and a printer for the terminal room
(terminal room equipment is also often donated)
* Provide staff to help with local logistics (e.g. identifying hotels)
and conference setup (mainly wiring the terminal room and hubs
in the conference room)
All hotel costs (catering, lighting, room rental, cookies, etc.) are covered
by the NANOG registration fees. In addition, the conference room hubs and
wireless equipment are usually donated equipment (and some are owned by NANOG).
The benefits of NANOG hosting include:
* Reduced travel expenses for your staff to attend NANOG
* Your company name forever engraved on the official NANOG t-shirt
* Life-time, official membership in NANOG
* Fame and riches
Please send email to nanog-...@nanog.org if you are interested in hosting
a future NANOG.
