"Cisco Live! represents a major intersection where customers from many industries meet to collaborate with Cisco and each other on a variety of topics involving IT and our connected world. This year's event revolves around the opportunities for collaboration, and it is not just about technology anymore. We will explore the new environment for collaboration that leads to innovation, and how we as IT professionals, customers and global communities will be working differently together in the next decade. With the rapid growth of video and adoption of collaborative applications at work, at home, and in between, sharing experiences on how to harness the power and opportunity of collaboration has never been more important. It has never been more human. At Cisco Live!, you'll see why."
