Merry Nets (Special)

We are happy to announce the next eBPF-focused meetup in Vienna scheduled for November 27, 2025.

This time we'll have another very special opportunity to explore eBPF, featuring an experimental deep dive by Mino on resurrecting a dead protocol, alongside insights from Cisco experts on the current innovation progress, including kernel-level programmability in enterprise security (like Hypershield's event-driven enforcement) and networking hardware (such as Silicon One integrations).

All talks will be suited for beginners and experts as well.
Whether you're a network, platform, security, systems engineer or simply curious about the latest advancements in the world of IT, this event is for you.

Come and join us to network with like-minded professionals, expand your knowledge in eBPF and explore how this open-source technology is revolutionizing the way we solve problems.

Don't miss out on this opportunity to stay ahead of the curve!

Special thanks to our sponsors:
- Cisco for providing delicious food & drinks and an excellent location!
