As promised, here is the registration link for the first of the two new Virtual Symposia this month.  For those of you not familiar with the Virtual Symposium concept, check out this post for the long explanation--the short explanation is that its a 60 min panel discussion driven by your questions on a topics that we see generating a lot of questions.

The standard panel consists of yours truly, Greg Ferro (EtherealMind), Stephen Foskett (Tech Field Day), and Ivan Pepelnjack (ipSpace), then for each event, we add other folks we think you’ll want to hear from.

Virtual Symposium 3: Network Programmability and SDN

• Date: July 10, 8am PT
• Joining the panel will be Brad Casemore (Twilight in the Valley of the Nerds) and Brent Salisbury (NetworkStatic)
• Register Now

The topics are meaty and the panel is opinionated, so this should be good session--bring your questions and we’ll do our best to keep you enlightened and entertained.
