The Cisco Innovation Hub

Holy conference, Batman!

SXSW is happening in a few weeks, and Cisco will be in Bat City (aka Austin) to join in the fun. Will we see you there?

If you’re planning to attend, make sure to visit Cisco’s Innovation Hub on Saturday or Sunday, and say howdy to Duo Security, Webex, AppDynamics, Meraki, DNA Spaces, Umbrella, CDA, Cisco Investments, and Devnet at Capital Factory! Each company will showcase insights on trending activities in technology and highlight Cisco Innovations.

Check out new product launches and explore our Startup Independent Software Vendor (ISV) demos. We’ll also have Whisper Suites, a Customer Briefing Center, and talk tracks from Cisco acquisition founders, product managers, Cisco Investments, and our partners from UT System and Deloitte. Also, check out our Hot Pepper Startup Pitch where we are giving away over $75,000 in prizes. Do you have what it takes to beat the heat?! If so, sign up here.

We will also have talks from the DoD space. DIU, CACI, and AFWERX will be presenting as well with Cisco.
