Cisco Live 2016: Servers, Schwag and Slots

Cisco Live U.S. 2016 will be open for business in sunny Las Vegas from July 10-14. If you are planning to attend, here’s what you can expect to see, hear and experience:

• A bounty of keynotes and conference sessions for those aha moments from people who get it
• Shiny new wares from vendors like us (ours are especially shiny this year)
• Networking, community and fun for IT pros
• Last but not least: schwag (aka swag, tchotchkes, or giveaways).

Cisco Live US 2016 will likely be the largest gathering of IT network pros all year. And it’s not just about networks, it’s about networking and learning how to make the IT life a little less complex.

If you’re planning to attend Cisco Live, we’d love to have the opportunity to connect with you in person and talk about that complex IT life of yours. We’ll be in full force at booth #2857 all week. Come on by to talk shop, even if you aren’t shopping.

And we’ve got good schwag.

I'll wrap with a few parting words of advice. If you gamble, set a budget. The house usually wins. And stay hydrated. Vegas in July can be a bit on the warm side. Sort of like a massive data center without AC.
