Proud to Join DENOG: Supporting the Communities That Move Our Industry Forward
August 10, 2026
We’re proud to share that we’ve been accepted as a member of the German network operators group DENOG!
Beyond good industry citizenship, we are honored to support and invest in the community that plays a critical role in the health, resilience, and continued development of the world’s networks.
Every day, network engineers, operators, architects, researchers, vendors, and infrastructure professionals work together to solve problems, share knowledge, exchange experiences, and improve the networks on which all of us depend. Network Operator Group communities are where many of those conversations happen.
They bring together people who, despite potentially competing commercially, understand that operating a reliable, secure, and interconnected Internet requires collaboration. They create spaces where engineers can talk openly about what works, what doesn’t, what they’ve learned, and what the rest of the community can learn from their experience. That spirit of openness has helped move our industry forward for decades.
They also help develop the next generation of our industry. Knowledge is shared, made all the more important as the knowledge gap widens, as new engineers meet experienced operators, challenge ideas, build relationships, and share and solve problems that might otherwise be solved in isolation.
“With Hilco becoming a supporting member of DENOG, I’m genuinely excited about what we can contribute to the workshops, meetups, and conferences that have fundamentally shaped and deepened my understanding of the challenges our industry is facing,” said Giulia Potikha, Account Executive at Hilco Global and contributor at DENOG. “Especially to help the next generation of colleagues find their way into this incredible network.
“As we in Germany say: In diesem Sinne — it brings me an unreasonable amount of joy to now see Hilco become a supporting member of DENOG, contributing even more to the growth and exchange of knowledge within this incredible community — and hopefully, together, creating an impact that truly lasts.”
Proud to be part of DENOG
Becoming a member of DENOG is something we’re genuinely proud of.
We’re looking forward to continuing to engage with the community, learn from the people within it, contribute our own experience, and support the exchange of ideas that makes NOG communities so valuable.
Most importantly, we want to play our part in ensuring these communities remain strong. Progress happens faster when knowledgeable people come together and share what they know.
