I got to talk to Champions from America, Iceland, Azerbaijan, Germany, Sweden and many more countries from all over the world. The Cisco Champions gave us access to behind-the-scenes tours before the event started, whisper sessions on many topics and domains, and feedback session with Bonny Shapira who is charge of planning Cisco Live EMEA.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Champions2.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3078 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Champions2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1300\" height=\"806\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Champions2.png 1300w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Champions2-300x186.png 300w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Champions2-1024x635.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Champions2-768x476.png 768w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Champions2-200x125.png 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1300px) 100vw, 1300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/champions3.png\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3093 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/champions3.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1100\" height=\"582\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/champions3.png 1100w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/champions3-300x159.png 300w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/champions3-1024x542.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/champions3-768x406.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Location_location_location\"><\/span>Location location location<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Cisco Live was held in <a class=\"article-editor-content__link article-editor-content__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.rai.nl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Rai<\/a> and split up in various halls and sections. It took me a while to find my way and get familiar with the layout. I probably walked in circles more times then I&#8217;d like to admit. Once I got familiar with the layout and the shortcuts everything was a lot better. The Cisco Event App also gave you directions to your sessions. I wore my smartwatch to track my steps during the event and averaged 10,000 steps per day. While 10K steps a day is a great benchmark, it&#8217;s definitely more than my usual step count. And even though I run frequently I definitely was feeling my legs by the end of the week.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Location.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3215 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Location.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1705\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Location.jpg 1705w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Location-300x141.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Location-1024x480.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Location-768x360.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Location-1536x721.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1705px) 100vw, 1705px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Schedule\"><\/span>Schedule<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 class=\"article-editor-content__paragraph article-editor-content__has-focus\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Sunday_09-02-2025\"><\/span><strong>Sunday 09-02-2025 <\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p class=\"article-editor-content__paragraph\"><em>Daily step count: 9151 Steps<\/em><\/p>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Cisco_Champion_Tours\"><\/span>Cisco Champion Tours<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<p>Sunday started with registration and I had various behind-the-scenes tours with Cisco Champions.

During this session you&#8217;ll learn about:<\/p>\n<p><strong>How to adopt Zero Trust using SD-Access and Default-Deny without Tears &#8211; BRENS-3810<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/adopt.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3172 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/adopt.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1705\" height=\"959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/adopt.jpg 1705w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/adopt-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/adopt-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/adopt-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/adopt-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1705px) 100vw, 1705px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Celebration_Time\"><\/span>Celebration Time!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Thursday evening is the evening of the celebration! <br \/>It is spread over different halls with music, performers, food and drinks.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cel2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3176 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cel2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1705\" height=\"959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cel2.jpg 1705w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cel2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cel2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cel2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cel2-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1705px) 100vw, 1705px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cel3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3177 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cel3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1705\" height=\"959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cel3.jpg 1705w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cel3-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cel3-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cel3-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cel3-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1705px) 100vw, 1705px\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cel4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-3178 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cel4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1705\" height=\"959\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cel4.jpg 1705w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cel4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cel4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cel4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.quisted.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/cel4-1536x864.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1705px) 100vw, 1705px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"article-editor-content__paragraph article-editor-content__has-focus\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Friday_14-02-2025\"><\/span><strong>Friday 14-02-2025<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><em>Daily step count: 3.134 steps<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Last day and final day and I&#8217;m feeling the wear and tear of 6 days Cisco Live.
