We actually begin planning about 5 months ahead of time! We recruit a variety of Cisco employees to provide the workshops (from groups like IoT, Security, Networking, Cloud) and have a small organizing committee (shout out to Stephanie and Nicole) to handle the details.

Since GPT is a global event -- there might be one in your area next year! It's organized by the Connected Women chapters, so be sure you're on their mailing list!
