The theme for this year's Cisco Liveis "Let's Go" which is entirelyappropriate consideringhow much Ican'twait to do just that.Since we have more than a month to go the next best thing is building your schedulewhich I am here to help you with.You can find all theDevNet Zonesessions by followingthe DevNet Track.But beware... thereare over 200 sessions to choose from! So, maybe grab a snack first.

In addition to theDevNettrack we have prepared 5 distinctLearningMaps to help you  get some depth into the areas you care about the most. Each map offers a sequenced session path to help you get the most out of your Cisco Live experience.

Explore the DevNet Zone at Cisco Live

In case you have never been to Cisco Live before here is a quick breakdown on the different session types you'll find in the DevNet Zone: 

Workshops:
Workshops are my favorite because these intimate learning sessions allow you to leave the session with a new skill you can apply in your job the very next day. With only 12 spots for each you can expect these to fill up quickly so don't delay. 

Classrooms:
These bigger sessions seat around 60 and are conveniently located in the DevNet Zone where you can easily connect with the speakers after for follow up conversations? 

Theater:
These high impact sessions conveniently located in the DevNet zone have open seating for about 100 but let's be honest. Your tired

 conference legs will thank you for reserving an actual chair. 

Lightning Talks:
These short, fun sessions help you get just enough information but seating is quite limited so don't delay. You can also catch them on ourYouTube channelthe next day, so there is no excuse for not checking out a few of these fast-paced and fun sessions even if you are not attending Cisco Live in person. 

Breakouts:
There are 200+ seats available for these epic learning experiences that will ensure you leave the room smarter. My personal favorites are any and allBRKDEVsessions. 

All sessions (except for workshops) will be recorded and made available after the conclusion of the conference. With your Cisco Live login you'll be able to access sessions you couldn't make, or want to listen to again.
