If you already have a visit to the DevNet Zone on your Cisco Live agenda, you can stop reading now. If not…you need to put it on your calendar now.
The range of learning, coding, connecting, and inspiring activities and sessions at this year’s Cisco Live is greater than ever! More learning labs, more hands-on workshops, more solution demos, more mini-hacks, more 4:30 beer parties! Heck, there’s even an Escape Room challenge to put your API skills to the test! If you’re into network programming, Cloud collaboration, IoT application development, or DevOps … it’s simply the place you need to be.
The full DevNet Zone schedule gives you everything you need to know about what’s happening in the DevNet Zone and when. It gives you a glossary of the APIs and tools you’ll be able to learn about and get hands-on with. And you’ll find a listing of all the self-paced, no-reservation-required Learning Labs you can complete on-site – with experts there to help if you need it. We’ll have learning labs there for you across all of DevNet’s technology areas including:
- Network programming
- Software coding
- Security
- Cloud
- Collaboration
- Data center
- Mobility
- Analytics & Automation
- Virtual development & testing
Here’s a quick skip across the surface of some of the DevNet Zone sessions and activities. Follow the links to learn more, and then get it on your calendar to come to the DevNet Zone for a deeper dive.

Women in Tech event: Sunday, from 8:00 – 11:00am, The Cisco DevNet Women in Tech community is bringing a hands-on coding workshop using Cisco DevIoT and DIY electronics Arduino kit. Bring your own laptop. Arduino Kits and other supplies will be provided.
The two DevNet Express Events being held at Cisco Live are SOLD OUT. However, we will be hosting a #CiscoChat on Facebook.com/ciscodevnet. Live video from Las Vegas! After the live video ends, the recordings will be available on Facebook. You’ll find details are in Hank Preston’s blog.
The two DevNet Express events are:
DevNet Express: Data Center Infrastructure is for Data Center Infrastructure Engineers working with compute, network and storage, Architects and Software Systems Integrators plus Operations and Networking teams with an interest in infrastructure programmability, configuration, automation and provisioning.
DevNet Express: Cloud Collaboration is for IT professionals who want to learn about developing with Cisco Spark collaboration API. You’ll listen and learn from trainers, get hands-on with the technology, to complete some interactive Missions (with proctors to help you) and get rewarded for your hard work.
These events have taken off in popularity, so please visit our DevNet Express events page to find a future event, perhaps coming to a city near you!
I’m out of breath just thinking about all that DevNet is serving up for you in the DevNet Zone. But now Cisco Live is here! Yeah! Do come by and “develop” with us. I can’t wait to see you there and do take a #SelfieWithSusie.
We’d love to hear what you think. Ask a question or leave a comment below.

Exciting line up Susie! Don’t forget to come check out Local Measure in the Collaboration Village. We’ll have live demos at our booth (C9) and will be speaking on the stage at 4:30pm Wednesday. We also have some Spark bots pushing Cisco Conversations to a Spark board at the Social Media Hub if you want a live demo just hit up the @localmeasure team.
Thanks, Jonathan Barouch! I love that Local Measure used DevNet and Cisco APIs to build a great social solution! See you soon
I’ll be at #DevNetExpress on Saturday afternoon, #IoT session on Sunday morning, and of course doing all the social things throughout the week. The best place to find me will most likely be right outside the Escape Room!
To get on any social media platforms, all you have to do is tweet using the hashtag CLUS. Enjoy Cisco Live everyone!
Can’t wait for all the Spark and Collaboration info and new announcements!! And Cisco Spark After Dark!
I’ll be at the DevNet Zone from 1-3 M-W filming Spark Board Engineering Deathmatch!
John Welsh: Thanks for hosting another Engineering Deathmatch! How cool to do it on the Spark Board!
Hello #DevNet community! As part of these events, some of us will be talking about different #DevNet topics. I want to take the opportunity to invite you attending my session on “Designing Cloud Native Applications with Microservices and Containers” where I will take you to the basics of Cloud Native Apps, how they can be implemented and which tools can be used to develop them. If you have been a networking engineer for ages and you have heard about all of these “fancy terms” of cloud native but you are afraid to ask what “that means”, this is the right session for you!! Looking forward to see you all in Cisco Live next week!! Safe travels!!
Hector Morales: Cloud native with containers and microservices- Bring it on! Our attendees having the most modern topics in the DevNet Zone- Thank you for providing it!
Live from Cisco Live Las Vegas, with two days left until the kick-off of the event, we are making great progress in setting up and preparing all the activities mentioned in this blog.

I’m really looking forward to #DevNet Express in the morning and primarily DevNet sessions all week long.

Drop by and start learning!

I would say that I can’t wait for the DevNet Zone to open… …but we are going to have a lot of fun at the #DEVNETexpress events here in Las Vegas today and tomorrow! So… These will surely take care of my DevNet fix for a couple of days while I wait. Then, can you all set me up a cot in the Zone so I don’t have to leave at night?
Indeed Chris. See you at #DEVNETexpress kickoff soon!
Super excited to be part of another great DevNet Zone at CiscoLive with lots of great open source content, including classrooms and hands-on workshops to help you get started with OpenStack, OpenDaylight, and more …
Really looking forward to Cisco Live, but First, the First ever DevNet Express Data Center Infrastructure Programmability track debuts this weekend.
