Track 1: AI-driven collaboration and customer experience

Create flexible, smart, and sustainable digital experiences across your customers and workforce. Let’s dive into how the power of AI can connect and protect your teams as well as automate and enrich your digital customer journeys.

Track 2: The journey to unified observability

As AI's role in software creation expands, the need for robust observability grows to compensate for the increasing complexity of variables and potential errors. When your apps and infrastructure work better together, you work better. Join our track to learn how.

Track 3: The future of innovation and organisation, secured

Protect the integrity of business amidst unpredictable threats or change. As cyberattacks continue to evolve, organisations' defences must, too. Cisco has taken a major step in making AI pervasive in Cisco Security Cloud, augmenting what humans alone can do to help close the gap between cybersecurity intent and outcomes. Lean in and learn how to enhance your organisation’s security resilience.

Track 4: Connect, simplify and transform your infrastructure

Bridge the boundaries between technologies, locations, organisations, people, and things. Deliver secure networking and peace of mind. See for yourself how to protect your people, applications, and data—wherever they are—with platform-driven, converged network and security solutions.

Track 5: Next-gen workplace innovations

Explore the forefront of workplace evolution with our track, "Next-Gen workplace innovations." Immerse yourself in three dynamic sessions designed to unveil the cutting edge of workplace transformation, where technology, innovation, and human experience converge to shape tomorrow's workspace.
