Nick McKeown - Talks

Here are the slides/videos from some of my talks. I post them in powerpoint to encourage re-use – you are most welcome to borrow and re-use my slides. Just acknowledge me and my employer (Stanford University), and anyone who I give credit to in my slides. People often confuse slides with a “talk”. To me, slides are just a visual aid – they are not the talk. The talk is what came out of my mouth, in addition to a lot of hot air.
