We are just around 60 days or so away from Geek Summer Camp 2018, or more commonly known as Cisco Live 2018.  Cisco Live is trying to step up their game this year with the introduction of a Big Ideas Theater at the conference.
What is the Big Ideas Theater?  Well, Cisco Live has defined it as “a diverse line up of thought leaders, strategists, technologists and other provocative voices from across industries designed to inspire and provoke your imagination and the exchange of ideas.”  It will be located in the middle of the Orange County Convention Center.
Also be aware that there is a good chance that the Cisco Live wireless will not reach this location, so be ready with a battery pack when you attend these talks.

These talks will be moderated by Glenn Thayer, The Voice of Meetings and Events.  Looking at some of his videos on his website with a cool URL ( http://www.emcee.com/ ), he is a professional moderator.  ‘
There are few of these talks that I am looking forward to, definitely Hakeem on Monday and Grant on Tuesday look interesting.  Who are you looking forward to seeing/
Below is the schedule of the talk with videos on YouTube for you to check out.  These all look to be very motivational, inspirational, and educational talks to attend.  It will be a nice break from all the technical talks we always get – these are worth checking out and scheduling!
