Thanks to those who joined us for the 18th USENIX Symposium on Networked Systems Design and Implementation (NSDI '21). We hope you enjoyed the event.

NSDI focuses on the design principles, implementation, and practical evaluation of networked and distributed systems. Our goal is to bring together researchers from across the networking and systems community to foster a broad approach to addressing overlapping research challenges.
