Call for CHI-NOG 13 Sponsors
It’s 2026 — and CHI-NOG 13 is back.
We are currently opening a limited number of sponsorship opportunities for organizations looking to engage deeply with the Midwest’s network engineering and Internet infrastructure community.
What is CHI-NOG?
CHI-NOG (Chicago Network Operators Group) is a Chicago-based, vendor-neutral community built for engineers who design, build, and operate production networks.
Since 2013, CHI-NOG has hosted an annual technical conference bringing together enterprise operators, service providers, data center engineers, backbone architects, peering coordinators, and infrastructure leaders from across the Midwest and beyond.
Our focus:
- Real-world operational experience
- Deep technical content
- Practical architecture discussions
- Meaningful peer connections
This is not a sales conference. It’s a working-engineer conference.
