Cisco Live is Cisco's most important event of the year. A combination of in-person events, online experiences, and virtual engagements on multiple platforms, it unites technology leaders from all over the world to create digital opportunities that fuel both personal and corporate growth. This year, Cisco Live will be held in Las Vegas, NV from July 10^th-14^th. But you can get a sneak peek of what's happening ahead of time, with our#CiscoChat on Thursday, July 7^th, from 9:30-10:30am PT.

We'll be joined by a number of Cisco's official Twitter channels and the minds behind them, including Global Marketing and Program Manager Kathleen Mudge on the @CiscoLive channel, Marketing Manager Brian Remmel on the @CiscoSecurity channel, Program Manager Janel Kratky on the @CiscoDevNet channel (Cisco's developer program), and Collaboration Marketing Manager Kim Austin and Social Media Manager Lauren Colson on the Cisco Collaboration channel (@CiscoCollab).

They'll talk a bit about what you can expect from this year's Cisco Live event, including keynote speakers, panel discussions, the integration of digital and social media into the event, and much more. And of course, you'll have the opportunity to ask your own questions and get the inside scoop on what's going on this year at Cisco Live.
