Beer, Gear and Peer session (BGP) 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 2026. 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. Make sure it's part of your AusNOG experience. |
