Join us at Cisco Live Amsterdam 2026, February 9–13, to raise the bar in achieving networking excellence. The Learn with Cisco team can’t wait to meet you and share our lineup of exclusive learning opportunities and promotions.

We’re ready to talk about top-of-mind topics like AI infrastructure, digital resilience, network security (of course), AgenticOps, cloud computing, and so much more.

Visit our Learn with Cisco booth to brainstorm ways to help you succeed, solve a problem at hand, or simply chat about the future of tech and your passions. Watch live demos of ways that Cisco U. can help—and most importantly, scan your badge to take advantage of our on-site-only perks and discounts.

And if a trip to Amsterdam isn’t in the cards, watch our livestream.

Here’s what’s waiting for you:

Cisco U. Theater: Learn, earn credits, and upskill

Explore the intersection of AI, networking, and security. Sessions focus on automation, GenAI, and how agentic workflows are transforming operations and cybersecurity, plus real-world NetDevOps, observability, and troubleshooting use cases across the Cisco and Splunk ecosystems. We’ll cover the need for future-ready skills and ways to adapt, upskill, and design resilient, intelligent networks for the next decade.
 

New: Cisco U. Theater sessions count toward CE credits!

Maintaining your certs just got even easier. In addition to the Technical Breakouts (BRK), DevNet Workshops (DEVWKS), instructor-led labs (LTR), technical seminars (TEC), walk-in labs, and Capture the Flag (CTF) challenges, this year, Cisco U. Theater sessions will also grant you Continuing Education (CE) credits.

To ensure your credits are counted, remember the “75/45 Rule”:

  • You must badge in to each session attended on site.
  • The session must be at least 45 minutes long.
  • You must attend at least 75% of the session’s duration.

Do what you love, connect with our experts, and earn credit.
