NLNOG Day 2026
NLNOG Day 2026 will be held on Friday, September 4th 2026 in Gooiland, Emmastraat 2, 1211 NG Hilversum. Of course, we will live stream and record all presentations, so if you didn’t manage to obtain a ticket, you can still watch them. If you have any questions for the presenters, you can ask them via our IRC or Discord channel.
The day program will consist of a number of talks targeted at people with technical networking jobs, followed by drinks and food. Registration is required if you want to attend, and tickets are now available!
If you are unable to attend the event in person, don’t worry: we will provide a live stream, and all presentations will be recorded and posted on our YouTube channel afterwards.
Getting There
Gooiland is located right next to Hilversum Centraal station, making it easily reachable by public transport from across the country.

Q-Park (Groest 86) comes recommended for slightly larger vehicles.
