Cisco Live 2019 now seems like a long time ago, but I thought it would be appropriate to write a little recap of my experience of this very special one.
Being my 7th Live, this was going to be a different one for me. The first time being a Cisco Champion and a Tech Field Delegate I knew this one was special. And special it was…
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!

Throughout my career I have been fortunate enough to be able to go to Cisco Live numerous times. This year it will be my 7th time to go! Even after all those years I’m still very exited and it is one of my highlights of the year. Plus, this year is my first year to attend as a Cisco Champion, so I’m definitely excited about that!
Every year I learn something new about Cisco Live. One year it was all about Cisco Umbrella for me, which I rolled out a couple of months later at my job. Take note employers, there is tangible benefit to send your IT to Live!
Given we are only a few months out, here are my tips and tricks:
Cisco Live 2017 is about to begin, and I’m very excited to be able to go again this year. I have been fortunate in the past to be able to visit Cisco Live for several years. This will be my 5th Cisco Live and I’m happy to be a NetVet. There are many great blog post on why you should go and what to do when you get there, so I would like to talk a bit about why I think it’s a great event to be at.
