Greetings from hot and humid New Orleans! I’ve been down here in the South for a little under a week, and I’m already starting to say “y’all.” This week has been busy getting settled and preparing myself for school to start next Monday; my textbooks are all lined up and ready to go on my desk right now. However, I had just enough time for another adventure, but this time with a different kind of newsroom.
Since the launch of The Network, Cisco’s Technology News Site a little over two months ago, the social media communications team has been hard at work developing and curating Cisco’s very own newsroom. The hard work is starting to pay off: We’ve been nominated for the Best Online Newsroom at the Digital PR Awards. The other contenders are Ogilvy Public Relations Worldwide’s remodel of the Intel Newsroom (not to be confused with the Intel Free Press, which I explored in a previous post), the Baylor Health Care System Online Newsroom, and Fahlgren Mortine’s revamp of Crown Equipment’s Business to Business Social Media Newsroom. The finalists all shared many similar characteristics that have been helpful in making their newsrooms a success.
Welcome back to another weekly wrap up of our top stories and features from The Network. For those of you who participated in or even watched CiscoLive, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did! Check out what we’ve been up to this week.
As you all know by now, CiscoLive is just wrapping up in Las Vegas this week. Do you attend Cisco Live onsite or virtually? Tell us your story and you could be featured as the Ultimate Cisco Live Attendee! Turn in your submissions today!
That is what we want to know! Every year tens of thousands IT and communications professionals attend Cisco Live events held around the world as well as virtually. Each attendee is imperative to the success of Cisco Live, and we want to hear why you think you are the ultimate and most loyal Cisco Live attendee! The winner will be highlighted across the Cisco corporate social channels including Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn and on our corporate newsroom, The Network.
How do you show us? It’s simple!
Submit a short paragraph, video, photos (or all three) showcasing why you are the ultimate Cisco Live attendee. It could be related to the number of years you have attended the conference, the content of blogs you’ve written about Cisco Live, specific events you participated in and much more! Read below for all of the guidelines.

Welcome back to another week of The Network’s top stories! We have an exciting week coming up, with Cisco Live in Las Vegas- if you by any chance have any extra plane tickets, feel free to send them my way. Even if you aren’t making your way down to Vegas, stay tuned. We have plenty of exciting stories happening here as well.
Hi all, I’m Kati Dahm and I’m interning with the Social Media Communications team at Cisco this summer. I’ll be taking over for Lindsay with your top news stories of the week, coming from The Network to your computer every Friday. With The Network fully underway, these are our top stories of the week.
