Working and living in the IT-World
Cloud Field Day #CFD11 took place a few weeks ago (June 23–25, 2021) and I was fortunate enough to had been selected as a delegate. This marks my 5th engagement as a delegate. Due to the state of the world we are in right now this event was again virtual.

Vince does a great job moderating and talking to Jim is always a highlight. Check you the podcast here
So we are a few days out before Cisco Live 2019 in San Diego begins and needless to say I’m very excited. To add to my regular excitement is the fact that a) is my first time at Live as a Cisco Champion and b) I’m also a first time Tech Field Delegate for TDFx on Tuesday!
Tom Hollingsworth from GestaltIT reached out to me and asked if I would be willing to be a delegate. I had learned about the delegate program last year at VMworld and thought it was a very cool way to get community members and companies together to talk product and shop. It’s really a win-win for everybody, delegates get to learn about the latest tech and companies get a feeling if their product/tech makes sense in the industry.
I’m very stoked to meet the other delegates, some I have been following on twitter for a while and I can be sure there is going to be a lot of smart people in the room!
