Networkers Sessions
Technical Breakout Sessions
This year we are featuring more than 400 unique in-depth technical breakout sessions and techtorials. All Session Groups contain content appropriate for service providers, large enterprises, government agencies, small to medium sized businesses, educational institutions and more. Plus, there are 2 hour hands-on Lab sessions, 8 hour Techtorials, 4 hour Labtorials, and 2 hour hands-on Lab sessions.
Technology Tracks and Session Groups
Technology Tracks are overarching technology categories that follow common industry terminology that are made up of content from multiple Session Groups, which are granular categories that align with internal Cisco technology development. Tracks and Session Groups will continually evolve and realign as Cisco enters new technological frontiers. Session Groups are where you'll discover training for all skill levels covering design, architectures, applications, implementation, troubleshooting, and much more.
