Welcome to Cisco Partner Summit 2008

You have been nominated by Cisco Technology Developer Program and Industry Solutions Partner Network program managers and Cisco theater representatives to showcase your business solutions in the Technology and Solutions Forum. This is an exclusive opportunity offered to a very select group of Cisco partners. It represents an excellent chance for face-to-face contact with highly qualified Cisco channel partners exposing your solution to potential customers through this extended sales force.

You will find this showcase to be one of the most economical and effective marketing programs available. Cisco staff will handle virtually everything—all you have to do is arrive with your laptop, plug in, and demonstrate your solutions. You will have the opportunity to meet a diverse group of the best worldwide Cisco channel partners (systems integrators, value-added resellers, distributors, and so on) in an informal, mini-tradeshow setting. Click here for more information on Cisco's channel partners.

New for 2008: Attendees will have the opportunity to network with peers and manage their exhibitor interests through the Cisco Partner Network, our networking tool. You will have the opportunity to identify your key technologies so attendees can identify your company as a match to their needs. This tool will allow attendees to select which exhibitors to visit prior to getting onsite.
