“The arena also uses Cisco technology called Cisco StadiumVision which is an innovative digital content distribution system. The system is used to centrally manage and deliver all of the video and digital content in the arena, except the scoreboard. This means we can expect high quality video delivered to the screens in the arena.”

Cisco Live! Tip #3 – Mentorship by Justin Cohen
“If you have never attended Cisco Live! before, and you do not have a friend or colleague who has who can walk you through what your week will be like – you may come away from your first Live! event thinking ‘Wow, I wish I was better prepared’ or ‘I wish someone could have shown me around'” … This is exactly what the mentorship program is designed to do. Help you find the sessions that matter, make sure you get to all the places you need to get to – and there is a good chance you might make some new friends, colleagues or find your way to the next social event.”
