Networking Field Day
Networking Field Day (NFD) focuses on wired network components, from the corporate campus the the data center to the WAN. Produced in association with Packet Pushers, NFD brings together the best independent thought leaders in the networking space to discuss pressing issues and technology advancements with key companies in the space.
We have produced Networking Field Day events since 2010, and now hold two such events per year. For 2015, NFD returns in the first and third quarter. We continue to bring the leading voices in the networking community to each event and hope to showcase rising stars making an impact as well!
With Packet Pushers, we also produce in-person and online Symposium events to present key networking technologies to a broader audience. This began with the OpenFlow Symposium, held in October of 2011, and includes a series of Virtual Symposium events with Cisco and Brocade.
If you would like to get involved with Networking Field Day, either as a delegate or sponsoring presenter, please contact us! We have pages for sponsors and delegates, including forms to use to get in touch.
