About Us
The GB networking community has a new home.
GB(NUG) is for enterprise network engineers, architects, operational leaders and innovators who want real conversation with people who understand the job.
We meet quarterly to share experience, debate the hard problems, and make connections with other networking professionals. The agenda is shaped by the community: cloud networking, automation, resilience, security, career development, and whatever's keeping you up at night.
This is your peer group. Come and be part of it.
GB(NUG) is made possible through the support of Alkira, a Lumen Connect® solution and Megaport, two organisations who believe a stronger practitioner community benefits the whole industry.
