Once again, this year I will be at Cisco Live – US. I’m excited about another year with the best people in technology!

The Keynote Speaker for this year was announced today; and I’m pumped! There is an undeniable focus on the future this year. It is clear that as Cisco looks to the future, they see lots of business potential, and areas where they can contribute.

On Thursday, the closing keynotes will come from two individuals:

• Dr. Michio Kaku (twitter, wikipedia) a theoretical physicist and futurist
• Amy Webb (twitter, wikipedia) a futurist and founder of the Future Today Institute.

I personally love the Celebrity Keynotes because I leave there with new ideas or a changed perception of the world around me. Sometimes, we need to be reminded that when we are stuck in the trenches, what we do on a daily basis really matters.

Now that you are thinking about Cisco Live, it would be a great time to also make plans for #KiltedMonday! If you don’t know about Kilted Monday, check out my previous blog post. If you don’t own a kilt, now is the perfect time to order one! As I’ve said in the past, the folks at damnnearkiltem.com make a great product that you won’t mind paying for.

Go register now. Once you do, send me a tweet and let me know you are coming! Cisco Live 2018 Registration
