CiscoLive as Experienced by Nico

   

As Hoyt Axton would probably have sung: "well, I've never been to Spain, but I kind of like the music". It was the same experience for me  with Cisco products and technology being the music in this analogy. I was attracted to CiscoLive! by everything I'd heard about it. There were some doubts in my mind, though. "What will I do there for five days?" I asked myself. Now I know. CiscoLive! is by far the biggest non-commercial event I ever experienced in my life, and even left me hungry for more.

Saying CiscoLive! is an overwhelming experience, is an understatement at best. There's a large stage for the keynote speakers with room for thousands of attendants. There's the DevNet zone, a "World of Solutions" where many Cisco partners showcase their solutions to 
real-life problems. There are dozens of coffee stands, Quick Bytes (pun intended), fresh juice stands and even a real TV studio and a library. There are also many corners where you can just sit and relax for a while (don't laugh, you'll need it, just to let your brain rest a little). 

There are probably about a hundred lecture rooms and halls for the many sessions that you could attend. That is, if you paid for the "full experience". I went as an "explorer" and I'd do the same again next time. That means I was allowed to wander everywhere, except for these breakout sessions. I don't mind, because I can view all of them on the CiscoLive! website later on, which leaves me more time to explore" the fair itself. Also, the overall catering, coffee (and great latte), quick bytes and juices are all included in your admittance fee. If you happen to be a CCIE you'll have access to the CCIE lounge too. I think I'll study a bit more. One day I'd might report about that, but don't count on it.

As a CCNA and CCNA Security instructor the most interesting hall was the Devnet-zone for me. I've done eight WISP's (Walk-In Self Paced-labs) and I wish I'd done more of them. I followed about a dozen session with Cisco evangelists about a lot of different topics. Don't be fooled with the small-scaled nature of these sessions. Even if there are only 20 to 50 people there, it's still more than worth it.
