The time has come again for Cisco Live.  This year, we’re kicking things off a bit earlier.  May 18-22, 2014 is the date of one of the largest vendor shows in existence.  We’re headed back to San Francisco.  The last time Cisco Live was in town was 2009.  It’s going to be a fun time for everyone and not the sweltering broiler from last year, for sure. With that in mind, it’s time to fire up the Twitter List for 2014.  This is my third year curating the list and it’s a labor of love.  My inbox fills up with excited folks coming for the first time as well as old favorites and NetVets showing up again.  As before, this list is for people.  I’m happy to put your personal Twitter handle on the site.  For those that DJ corporate accounts, I will list those accounts in the notes if you wish, but the list entry is for you.  Engage with the people at Cisco Live and show them your real face.

Here’s the 2014 List:

You can be added to the list in a variety of ways.  You can email me at tom@networkingnerd.net.  You can DM me on Twitter.  You can send me a mention.  And, new this year, you can fill out this handy form!  Please note that I only include people that specifically ask to be on the list.  You might tell your friends that you’re going to Cisco Live, but if you don’t ask me to be on the list I won’t put you there.  Also, if this is your first Cisco Live, please be sure to let me know.  I’ll make a note of it here so the great people you’ll meet will be able to give you the best Cisco Live experience possible.

Cisco Live has embraced social media in the past couple of years.  The first Cisco Live tweetup was in 2010.  A few hardy souls gathered around a wireless hotspot in the MGM Grand during the Customer Appreciation Event to talk about Twitter and online media.  The next year, I flew in early and decided to post myself outside the registration desk to talk to people as they walked by.  And so began the legend of Tom’s Corner.  Last year, Cisco had an entire social media control center dedicated to tracking metrics and interacting with the users: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlNKJhMvtyg Look for Teren Bryson (@SomeClown), Ed Henry (@NetworkN3rd), and Patrick Swackhammer (@Swackhap) in the above video.  It’s great to see Cisco taking the initiative and getting behind social media engagement.  But it really comes down to the people.  And that’s what this list is all about. Look for some more Cisco Live social media posts coming up soon, including information on the opening tweetup and a way to finally coordinate the Cisco Live sign picture!  Stay tuned.
