These conferences are networking conferences that provide opportunities for community members to further enhance networking discussions and that provide for a rich set of presentations exploring current and relevant topics. Hackathons are also a part of these meetings which are a one day event bringing people together in a room to develop new ideas and hacks related to internet networking. There was a 100 charge for the virtual events, but anyone could register for free. Virtual registrations for nanog 81 were 921 and 758 for nanog 82. Nanog 83 was the first hybrid event and had 312 in-person registrations and 300 virtual. 44,400 in donated services were used for these conferences.”
