I really like that Cisco is taking the time to organize this conference. People, generally, associate you with hardware, but it has been a software company from the beginning.

From software for routers and switches to massive SaaS applications like Webex.

The amount of knowledge about programming in Cisco is huge, so having a conference led by Cisco in the development area was a much-needed step, one that it is reaffirming its position as a market leader in development.

In this new software-defined world, Cisco is taking the right steps to strengthen its relationship with the developer community. I am sure this conference is going to be a pillar in that effort.

Thank you again for the commitment and for reaching out to the developers in this vast ecosystem.
