Who's at Cisco Live 2017 and what to see: The best parts
Everything you need to see at CiscoLive Melbourne Australia 2017 and World of Solutions if you're an exhibitor, startup, doing a ccna or like Cisco routers and network security
It's March 2017, it's Cisco Live! in Melbourne, Australia. We got onto the showroom floor early to photograph, well, everything really in order to whet your appetites with what's to come. Cisco Live! is awash with Cisco's products and partners plus informative events, meetings, certifications and everything related to networks. It's the definitive networking networking event in Australia.
