ONUG Fall 2026 (opens in a new tab) · New York · October 28–29

Twenty minutes at ONUG. Three things you leave with.

The PENN DISTRICT, 100 West 33rd Street, New York. REAP is a sponsor and speaker: Raja Tadimeti presents “The Change Succeeded. Did the Network? Building Confidence in Change Outcomes” in the Tools, Technologies & Techniques theater on Thursday, October 29 at 3:15 pm ET. Find us at Booth 33 in the New Idea section of the expo floor; book 20 minutes at the booth, over coffee or at dinner on the 28th.

The ONUG (opens in a new tab) offer

Book twenty minutes. Leave with three things.

For network and infrastructure leaders, architects and NOC leads. No slides; your questions, an anonymized environment, and a written follow-up within 48 hours.

1 · A walkthrough session on your last P1

Bring us your last P1. Keep the root cause to yourself; in a 30-minute session we walk through how REAP would have investigated it, evidence first. The replay on your own network happens inside the proof of value. Booked at the show; we reply within one business day to schedule the session.

2 · Your assurance-check result

The eight-question Quick 8 at the booth takes three minutes. You leave with a stage (Reactive, Managed, Assured or Proven) and the first door to open; the full twenty-question assessment follows by email.

3 · The evaluation kit

The buyer’s guide (printed), the RFP template and requirements matrix, the value calculator and the white paper “Why REAP”: vendor-neutral tools that work whether or not you buy anything.

At Booth 33

  • Three twelve-minute paths (an incident, a change and a resilience finding) on a demo environment built to look like yours
  • The eight-question assurance check (three minutes; you leave with a stage and a first door
  • Bring us your last P1) describe an incident you solved and keep the root cause to yourself; in a 30-minute session we walk through how REAP would have investigated it, evidence first. The replay on your own network happens inside the proof of value
  • The evaluation kit: buyer’s guide, RFP template, value calculator, white paper

Dinner, October 28

Ten seats for network and infrastructure leaders

An off-the-record dinner near the venue: how peers are handling agentic AI in the network, the 2026 autonomous-agent incidents, and what “verified” should mean for a change. Hosted by Raja Tadimeti, REAP’s co-founder and CEO. Request a seat; we confirm within one business day.

Why network leaders are there

The agenda in one paragraph

ONUG (opens in a new tab)’s Fall 2026 program centers on AI-ready networks and agentic operations: keynotes on re-platforming the network, enterprise CIO and CISO sessions on trust, security and control, analyst sessions, and a full track of Tools, Technologies & Techniques presentations. REAP’s contribution is a practical one: how to know a change worked and how to explain an incident with evidence.

For network and infrastructure leaders

Compare your practice against peers with the assurance check; take the evaluation guide back to your team.

For architects and NOC leads

Watch REAP investigate a fault injected into our lab network by a colleague who did not tell the presenter the cause; trace each conclusion to its evidence.

For partners and analysts

Thirty minutes on the reasoning architecture, deployment models and the 45-day proof of value.

After the show

What we send within 48 hours

  • Your assurance-check result and the full twenty-question assessment
  • Times for your P1 walkthrough session, if you brought one
  • The talk recording and the written pattern for change verification
  • For qualified conversations: a proposed proof-of-value scope and the week-0 baseline worksheet, and the champion kit: a one-page brief for your CIO, the business-case template and the security-packet request

Book time before the floor fills.
