SIPNOC 2026 Attendee Mailing List By now, you should have received a welcome message from our mailing list server informing you of your subscription to the "sipnoc26-attendees" event mailing list.

SIPNOC 2026 Receptions Please note that the SIPNOC 2026 Attendee Welcome Reception on September 15th (Tuesday night) and the SIPNOC 2026 Beer and Gear Networking Reception on September 16th (Wednesday night) includes delicious buffet dinners and full open bars (with STIRed and SHAKEN martinis of course) -- so please come hungry (and thirsty)! For those of you arriving in town on Monday, September 14th or earlier, those nights are yours to make your own dinner plans. There will be information at the hotel about restaurants in the Herndon area, including Reston Town Center, which is about a 15-minute drive from the hotel. SIPNOC 2026 Dress Code A few of you have asked me about the dress code at the event: Business casual please! Temperature Forecast The temperature forecast during SIPNOC 2026 is in the mid 70's during the day, and low-high 60's during the night (temps in Fahrenheit). Parking Car parking at the Hyatt Regency Dulles Hotel is free for all SIPNOC 2026 attendees. Please note that when you arrive at the hotel, you will see Pay to Park signs around the hotel parking lot (front and back). Since you have complimentary parking, do not use the QR code on the sign and pay. Free Shuttle Service To/From Dulles Airport The Hyatt Regency airport shuttle picks up at IAD airport [curbs 2B and 2G at lower baggage claim] every 30 minutes. Between 6am & 11pm it does a steady loop. 11pm-6:00am: CALL THE HOTEL to arrange a pickup: 703-713-1234. For your return, make your request at the Front Desk. BoFs (Birds of a Feather Sessions) There are three consecutive BoF timeslots that have been scheduled into the SIPNOC 2026 agenda the evenings of Tuesday, September 15th and Wednesday, September 16th. I encourage anyone who has a potential BoF topic to reach out to other SIPNOC 2026 attendees on the attendee mailing list to solicit involvement! If there is enough interest from the community, we will schedule them in and assign a meeting room for them! SIPNOC 2026 Sponsors A big thanks is due to all of the companies that have stepped up to help support SIPNOC 2026 through their generous sponsorship of the event.
