WWT Experts Name Their "Can't-Miss" Sessions at Cisco Live 2024

Each year, Cisco Live! brings together experts, speakers and technology to showcase the best of what the Silicon Valley-based tech leader has to offer. Attendees not only get access to training that would otherwise require multiple courses and sessions throughout the year, but they also get to connect with the greater Cisco community and have fun!

Artificial intelligence takes center stage this year, with a focus on empowering attendees to expand their horizons through immersion in the next wave of Cisco's transformative technologies.

During the conference, head over to WWT's booth #4842 or the Cisco AI Hub inside the World of Solutions to engage our experts. We also have Meeting Suites reserved (123-124) for more in-depth discussions.
