Labs Overview

Labs provide attendees with a unique opportunity to receive hands-on experience with the latest Cisco technology and solutions.

Attendees will also have the freedom to explore full configurations and features within the labs. The hands-on walk-in labs allow you to explore and test the latest Cisco products at your own pace.
