Nexthop at AusNOG 2024: A Golden Debut in Network Collaboration

This year’s AusNOG conference marked a significant milestone for Nexthop, as we proudly debuted as the Golden Sponsor at Australia's premier networking event. AusNOG, the gathering point for network engineers, ISPs, and content providers since 2007, has continually served as a critical forum for the exchange of technical knowledge and operational practices in the online industry.

As the Golden Sponsor, Nexthop not only demonstrated our robust commitment to the community but also took an active role in advancing industry discussions. At our distinctively vibrant pink stand, we showcased cutting-edge technologies and hosted a series of engaging demonstrations, including a live splicing masterclass led by experts from Nexthop FibreOps. This masterclass was not just a display of skill but a hands-on experience for attendees, enhancing their understanding of the intricate art and science of fibre splicing.

The feedback from the masterclass participants was overwhelmingly positive, emphasizing the practical benefits and the deep industry insights gained. Such sessions underline our mission at Nexthop—to foster educational growth and technical proficiency within the networking community. Our stand served as a hub for both learning and lively professional exchanges, where many productive conversations took root.

Beyond the technical sessions, AusNOG 2024 was an opportunity for us to engage directly with our partners and clients. We strengthened existing relationships and initiated new ones, discussing challenges and brainstorming potential solutions that could shape the future of networking. Our team was on hand to discuss the latest trends, share insights into emerging technologies, and explore collaborative ventures in a collegial environment.

Moreover, the conference allowed us to highlight how Nexthop is pushing the boundaries of network technology and infrastructure development. As we expand our operations and take on larger roles within the industry, such platforms are invaluable for demonstrating our capabilities and vision for the future.

In conclusion, Nexthop’s participation in AusNOG 2024 was not just about marking our territory in the industry but about setting a precedent for involvement and contribution to the networking community. We left the conference enriched with knowledge, inspired by new ideas, and grateful for the many connections made. We are excited to continue this journey, supporting and leading innovations that drive our industry forward.

Thank you to all who visited us at AusNOG 2024. We are keen to participate in the next year's conference, where we will build on this year's successes and continue to support the community that is at the heart of our business.
