About

Now in its 6th year, the Executive Symposium at Cisco Live is the invitation-only, executive-level experience at Cisco's largest annual IT and communications conference. The Executive Symposium is an incubation ground for peer ideation and problem-solving to help you lead the change in your organizations. Discussions will focus on:

  • Developing a culture of innovation and continuous improvement

  • IT as the connector linking people and ideas across organizations
  • Playing the role of futurist anticipating how people will live, work and play

Why attend

A reimagined event experience

With interaction top of mind–peer-to-peer networking, collaboration, and conversations–this year's physical space and content will embody the very engagement, social-mobile and collaboration trends creating competitive advantage for today's leading organizations. The event will offer more choice and variety of subject matter and learning formats.

Learning formats

The learning formats at this year's event will blend theory and trends with "roll up your sleeves" problem-solving. The Executive Symposium will once again feature the best and brightest storytellers, facilitators, and discussion catalysts from business and academia including the public and private sectors.

  • Masters classes – world-renown business leaders, strategists, and best-selling authors teach executive-level trainings that blend theory and strategy with hands-on interactivity.
  • Peer roundtables – participants with common interests meet in groups of no more than 25 to productively explore topics identified both before and during the event.
  • Strategic connections – from 1:1 meetings to expert-led panels, participants get strategic guidance on the challenges they're facing today from leadership and technology to industry trends and other top of mind issues.
  • Collaboration microSessions – peers, partners and Cisco experts present rapid release "speed briefings" and white-boarding sessions in 20 -minute Cliff-notes style overviews of trends, topics and best practices.
  • Workshops – immersive pre-event workshops on topics that require deeper, broader instruction and conversation.
  • Technology direction sessions – Traditional 45-60 minute sessions focused on a specific Cisco technology solutions offering intelligence and insights technology leaders need to build tomorrow's solutions while still addressing today's reality.
