To|get|back|to what was considered "normal" in the "before times," we are once more heading for an in-person Cisco Live US event! This after a hiatus of two years of virtual events. This year the in-person event takes place in Las Vegas between June 12th and 16th and is closely followed by the online version of the event. You can find more details athttps://www.ciscolive.com/global.html. 

Sure, I'm a bit nervous. But the excitement of going back to an in-person Cisco Live overrides all other emotions. I'm excited to meet old friends and make new ones. As usual, it will be a packed five days with thousands of trainings and learning sessions to choose from. This year the number of attendees is limited. And there have been exceptional efforts put in place to make sure we all have a safe, comfortable, and productive event.
