Do you have a representative in New York?
Could Cisco present this at our semi-annual Geoweb Summits?
Please contact me about this.

And about presenting at our summit, for the one you have this week I am afraid that we would have to pass since most of our speakers are engaged already on sessions at Cisco Live in SF. But if you have other events please let us know and we will help to find a good speaker from the team. Please let us know how to contact you. Thanks!

The Geoweb Summits are every six months in New York and we’re starting them up in Europe as well.
