partners' Web sites. That was great!"
-Wilson Trahan, Landata Systems

Browse the latest advancements and offerings presented by Cisco and Cisco partners in the World of Solutions.

"It's so much easier to talk to a specialist face-to-face,
with a whiteboard between us, than to describe a
situation over the phone."

If you are facing difficult networking challenges, bring your issues to the Design Clinic. Just drop in - no appointment necessary - to discuss your challenges one-on-one with Cisco technical experts.

The Design Clinic and Meet the Experts are just two of many daily opportunities to interact with Cisco experts and partners, and to explore solutions to your networking issues.

It is the perfect opportunity to network with your peers.
