The Past

It was March of 2020, and I was driving around downtown Campbell, CA, while chatting with my colleagues, speculating about the cancelation of Cisco Live Melbourne due to this "COVID thing." I thought it was just a rumor and that nothing would happen. Then, 24 hours later, the event gets canceled. Little did I know the entire year was pretty much canceled. I was disappointed and super sad to have missed connecting with our community, customers, and partners.

The Present

Fast forward to now, after 2.5 years of presenting at conferences to a screen, in 4k, in my workout shorts and a dress shirt, with little read on audience reaction.

Now we are going IN PERSON! (Cue Mark Morrison's Return of the Mack), and I couldn't be more excited to deliver my sessions at Cisco's flagship event.

The Lineup

This year I am lucky enough to be part of the Cisco Learning and Certifications track at Cisco Live in addition to delivering some awesome technical sessions and workshops in the DevNet Zone:

The Conclusion

Writing down my sessions made me realize that I might have been too eager for Cisco Live. Nevertheless, I am beyond ecstatic to meet every single one of you there. Come join me, chat with me, and let's connect. If for some reason you could not join all the learning in person with our team, Cisco Learning and Certifications has regular learning webinars, podcasts, and live events! So head over to the Cisco Learning Network!

See you at Cisco Live!
