Network. Learn. Grow. Oh and There's Free Beer!

(US)NUA: Transforming the Networking Community Landscape

In an industry dominated by vendor-specific events and niche conferences, something extraordinary is happening. The US Networking User's Association (USNUA) has emerged as the go-to destination for network engineers seeking more than just another technical meetup. As traditional networking events evolve or fade away, USNUA is revolutionizing how our community connects, learns, and grows. Here's why thousands of network professionals are making USNUA their professional home.

Land Your Dream Job Through Real Connections!

Forget the traditional job boards. At USNUA, career advancement happens organically through meaningful connections. Our members regularly share stories of landing their perfect role after a casual conversation at one of our events or through our vibrant Slack community. Whether you're exploring new opportunities or building your dream team, USNUA's vendor-neutral environment creates the perfect ecosystem for authentic professional relationships to flourish.

Access the Networking Industry's Best-Kept Secrets

Imagine having a direct line to hundreds of seasoned network engineers who've tackled the same challenges you're facing. That's USNUA. Our members share unfiltered insights about everything from SD-WAN deployments to cloud networking nightmares—and their real solutions. No marketing spin, no sales pitches—just honest, practical knowledge from professionals who've been in your shoes.

Where Smart Networking Vendors Build Loyal Followers, Not Just Customer Lists

For vendors, USNUA isn't just another sponsorship opportunity—it's a chance to become part of the community. Our most successful vendor partners have discovered that authentic engagement beats aggressive sales tactics every time. They're building lasting relationships, gathering invaluable product feedback, and establishing themselves as trusted industry partners rather than just suppliers.

Your Tribe Awaits: Network with People Who "Get It"

Remember the last time you tried explaining what you do to a non-technical friend? It’s tough to know where to even start. At USNUA, you're surrounded by people who not only understand your jokes about DNS being the root of all evil but who also share your passion for elegant network architecture. Our events foster friendships that extend far beyond professional networking—we're building a community where technical brilliance meets genuine camaraderie. Our events are often like network engineering reunions where many folks who have worked together before are reunited to reminisce. It’s also a fantastic way to make new friends in the industry and carry on your conversation in our Slack!

The Ultimate Perk: Where Innovation Meets Celebration

Yes, we have free beer and fantastic food—but that's just the beginning. These perks create an atmosphere where the next great networking innovation might be sketched out on a napkin over craft brews, or where a casual conversation over appetizers leads to a collaboration. We believe that great minds work better when they're relaxed and well fed!

Why USNUA Matters More Than Ever

With the demise of Interop in the US and vendor-specific events like Cisco Live dominating the landscape, USNUA fills a crucial gap. While Network Operators' Groups (NOGs) excellently serve service providers and operators, USNUA embraces the entire networking community—from enterprise engineers to solutions architects, from startups to industry giants.
