Road to Extreme Connect: let’s talk about New Normal!

19 August 2020

There are probably few more characteristic things about this year than a big annual user conference going viral. But it is not without reason that we are in the networking business. So let’s all meet at Extreme Connect Virtual to talk about New Normal – a quite unusual part of our lives!

Two days, over thirty technical sessions ranging from wireless, Wi-Fi 6, cloud, AI and ML, thousands of like-minded people to interact and have fun with – this is Extreme Connect Virtual in a nutshell. If your head is already spinning from the sheer amount of options, don’t worry. We have organized our agenda into four thematic tracks that will take you through both days of talks, panel discussions, workshops and meetups.

And one of these tracks will be focused entirely on New Normal and the future of networking.

Stay safe and join us for this complimentary, technology-first event from the comfort and safety of your home. See what we’ve got in store for you in our “New Normal” block!
