🚀 What an incredible start to #CiscoLive US 2026!

After picking up my badge and backpack, meeting old Cisco Live friends (like the one and only John Capobianco) I had the privilege of joining an exclusive "behind the scenes" preview tour as part of the #CiscoChampion program.

We got insider access to the Cisco TV studio, the event store, the NOC, the SOC, and the Cisco showcase stations — an experience that was truly eye-opening. As a long-time Cisco Live attendee, seeing the incredible dedication and effort the Cisco team puts into this event gave me a whole new appreciation for what happens behind the curtain.

Based on what I saw today, this week is going to be packed with exciting announcements and moments — so stay tuned! 👀

A huge thank you to Greyson Cahill and Danielle Carter for including me in the Cisco Champion Program alongside true legends of the community — David Peñaloza Seijas, Daniel Dib, and Alexis Bertholf (just to name a few). It's a genuine honor.
