Happy Days have returned! I have been invited to attend Network Field Day #22 (#NFD22) in San Jose, CA on February 12-14, 2020. If you are unfamiliar with Network Field Day, it is an event that is organized by Gestalt IT Media, LLC and brings together vendors along with independent bloggers (delegates). You can find more information over at their Tech Field Day website.

The list of delegates for this event is, as always, impressive. I am really honored to be part of this event and to be included among this group of individuals. Below you will see a list of the delegates for NFD22 along with a link to their Tech Field Day bio page and their social media. What to be a Tech Field Day Delegate, just visit this link and go for it!
