Time
   
Details
15:00 - 17:00    

Beer, Gear and Peer session (BGP)
State Room - Level 1, Pullman Hotel, via the Pullman Hotel Lobby

After you've check into your hotel, come and walk through the Beer Gear and Peer session to meet some of the companies participating at AusNOG 2025. Enjoy a complimentary beverage and grab some conference swag from the BGP participants. For those who aren't familiar with these sessions, while the BGP session is open for 2 hours it is not intended to be a social event. Space is limited so please just pop up to level 1 and enjoy a beverage while engaging with the participants (and collecting swag!) as you walk through the space.  This was so popular in 2024 that we've made it bigger and better for 2025.  Make sure it's part of your AusNOG experience.
