HotNets 2026 Sponsorship

HotNets welcomes corporate sponsorship to help support the workshop and broaden participation in the networking research community. HotNets is a selective, discussion-oriented venue where researchers, students, and practitioners explore early-stage ideas that can shape future directions in networking and networked systems.

Sponsoring HotNets is an opportunity to:

• Support student participation: Help fund student travel grants and make the workshop accessible to a broader group of students.
• Engage with researchers: Interact with Ph.D. students, postdocs, faculty, and industry researchers at the workshop.
• Connect with the community: Share information about research, internships, and career opportunities with workshop attendees.
• Support open exchange: Contribute to a workshop format built around technical debate, feedback, and ambitious new research directions.

Sponsorship support helps fund student travel grants, enabling students to participate in the workshop and engage with the HotNets community.

If you are interested in sponsoring HotNets 2026, please contact the General Chair (Ryan Stutsman).
