Now for the the behind the scenes look. First, follow @CiscoDC and #ciscovmw for all Cisco-flavored information from the show. This year’s Roving Reporter duties will be most ably handled by Scott Hanson (@CiscoServerGeek). Follow Scott for up to the minute geek’s-eye views on what’s happening.

We are also welcoming Maish Saidel-Keesing (@maishsk), one of five Cisco vExperts, who will be leading a talk through our #vBrownBag sponsorship. Details pending–we’ll update you as we have the specifics.

Now for the calendar of events, with a little surprise for everyone reading. We are proud sponsors of VMunderground, one of the very hot tickets in town. We have 5 wristbands to give away to our loyal EngineersUnplugged.com viewers. Here’s how: Tweet a link to your favorite #EngineersUnplugged episode to @CiscoDC by midnight EST on Monday, 8/19/2013. We’ll draw 5 names out of the hat. Good luck and happy viewing.
