Join us for an immersive, hands-on networking workshop focused on configuring and optimizing the Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP) within Cisco environments. This lab walks participants through core routing concepts, neighbor adjacency formation, metric calculation, and essential EIGRP configuration steps used in real-world deployments. You will examine how EIGRP selects efficient paths, balances traffic, manages convergence, and ensures reliable internal network performance. Whether building foundational routing skills or preparing for Cisco certification, this guided workshop provides the practical, scenario-based experience needed to confidently implement and troubleshoot EIGRP at scale.

Join us for the Virtual Lab Workshop! During this exclusive session, the host will introduce the Cisco RoCE Networking lab. This lab is designed to provide an environment to gain hands-on experience with the fundamental features of Cisco RoCE Networking Lab. This lab will demonstrate how the Cisco Nexus Dashboard Fabric Controller (NDFC) can easily set up an AI/ML fabric with a simple point-and-click GUI. This one-hour event is limited to 60 participants who will have the opportunity to engage in Q&A during the session. Attendees are encouraged to actively participate by launching the lab themselves alongside the host for a hands-on experience.

Join our virtual lab workshop to learn Segment Routing with MPLS (SR-MPLS) using ISIS and Fast Reroute. This session covers SR-MPLS fundamentals, including simplified service deployment via the MPLS data plane and Prefix label advertisement through standard ISIS/OSPF extensions, removing Classical LDP requirements. Participants will configure basic routing and SR-MPLS with ISIS on Cisco routers and set up SR-MPLS over ISIS plus BGP L3VPN/L2VPN on Cisco XRv9000 virtual routers. Live Q&A with experts is included—ideal for Network Engineers interested in transitioning to SR-MPLS networking.

As AI continues to grow, it's essential to recognize its applications beyond generative AI. One significant area of expansion is in computer vision, projected to reach a market size of $25.80 billion by 2024 (Statista). Computer vision enables computers to interpret visual information from images or videos, aiming to make machines perceive the visual world like humans. This technology provides real-time data about people and objects in motion. WWT accelerates the adoption of computer vision solutions. With over a decade of AI research and partnerships with industry leaders like Intel, WaitTime, and Cisco, WWT employs advanced computer vision, analytics, and AI technologies to enhance experiences across retail, healthcare, life sciences, manufacturing, hospitality, and entertainment. In the Media, Entertainment, and Gaming (MEG) industry, computer vision is crucial in creating immersive experiences through AR theme parks, digital twins, and crowd management applications.

Generative AI may sit atop the executive agenda, but few organizations are fully prepared to harness the full potential of AI and AI-powered technologies. While at Cisco Live, we caught up with Cisco's David Jensen and WWT's Justin van Schaik to talk about the need to modernize and scale enterprise data centers for the surging growth in AI. We also talk with David and Justin about managing AI environments and workloads and how Cisco Nexus HyperFabric AI clusters make it easy for enterprise customers to build infrastructure to run generative AI models.

IT leaders are bought into the transformational power of AI, but fatigued with trying to put it into action. Most are experimenting, but a significant majority are looking for a clear roadmap to separate hype from reality. While at Cisco Live!, we caught up with NVIDIA's Marty Jain and WWT's Neil Anderson to talk what is real when it comes to AI and what is hype. We also talked with Marty about the growing partnership between WWT, NVIDIA and Cisco, and the potential of Cisco Nexus HyperFabric, a breakthrough AI cluster solution with NVIDIA for the data center.

Join us for the Virtual Lab Workshop! During this exclusive session, the host will introduce the Cisco XDR Foundations. In this Live Lab event you will learn the basics about Cisco's XDR console and how to navigate through the many tools available to an analyst. Our Cisco XDR Foundations lab highlights the importance of having an XDR solution by showcasing the necessary tools an analyst will need to help your organization defend against cyber security threats.

Adopting AI at the level of organizational transformation requires a cross-functional team of experts. To fully capture and evaluate AI team-building needs, we recommend establishing an AI Center of Excellence (CoE) from the outset. While at Cisco Live, we caught up with Monica Livingston, who leads Intel's AI Center of Excellence, and the Senior Director of WWT's AI Practice, Mike Trojecki, about the key decisions and people that need to be involved in building an AI COE from the ground up. We also talk with Monica and Mike about measuring ROI for AI strategies, emerging use cases they're seeing in the market and emerging trends taking place in the fast-moving AI industry.

Cisco has been busy bolstering its Full Stack Observability Platform with acquisitions of AppD, ThousandEyes and, most recently, Splunk. While at Cisco Live, we caught up with ThousandEyes' Prab Singh and WWT's Christine Fierro and Joe Berger about how observability is delivering transforming the digital employee experience. We also talked with Prab about Cisco's broader plan for ThousandEyes, AppD and Splunk, and what new capabiliteis may be on the horizon.
