From new best practices to the frequent introduction of new technologies, it's not easy staying on top of where networking is going. Enter one of your best resources: the [US Networking User Association](https://www.usnua.com/). The goal of the US Networking User Association and its Affiliated Groups is to get network engineers together regularly throughout the country to discuss the latest and most relevant topics in the network world, in a vendor agnostic and sales-free environment. We've compiled some upcoming (US)NUA events and recent network-related analysis from our telecom experts to help you stay connected to new industry developments and trends. ## Upcoming Networking User Association Events - [(MN)NUG: April 29 | Edina, MN](https://www.usnua.com/mnnug-spring-event-2026) - [(OH)NUG: May 7 | Columbus, OH](https://www.usnua.com/ohnug-columbus-springevent-2026) - [(VT)NUG: May 14 | Colchester, VT](https://www.usnua.com/vtnug-spring-event-2026) - [(MI)NUG: May 14 | Royal Oak, MI](https://www.usnua.com/minug-detroit-spring-event-2026) - [(OH)NUG: May 19 | Cincinnati, OH](https://www.usnua.com/ohnug-cincinnati-spring-event-2026) - [(TX)NUG: May 21 | Dallas, TX](https://www.usnua.com/txnug-dallas-spring-event-2026) - [(VA)NUG: May 26 | Reston, VA](https://www.usnua.com/vanug-spring-event-2026) - [(OR)NUG: May 27 | Portland, OR](https://www.usnua.com/ornug-spring-event-2026) - [(NH)NUG): May 27 | Londonderry, NH](https://www.usnua.com/nhnug-spring-event-2026) ## Recent Network Analysis   | [![maxresdefault (14)](https://resources.telegeography.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Content/2026/Resource%20Assets/maxresdefault%20(14).jpg?width=500&height=281&name=maxresdefault%20(14).jpg)](https://resources.telegeography.com/ai-adoption-in-networking) | [AI Adoption in Networking](https://resources.telegeography.com/ai-adoption-in-networking) Host Greg Bryan welcomes Jason Gintert back to the podcast.
