Is it already time for Cisco Live US 2019? This year is flying by! Soon we’ll all be gathering again in sunny (or maybe gloomy) San Diego June 9-14 for all the fun that comes with the biggest networking conference out there! The conference pass structure is the same as it was last year with the Imagine Pass being the lowest-cost option to get you to the floor and anything not in a public space.
Another concern this year is the price of hotels in the Gaslamp area. Despite your personal feelings about cities like Las Vegas, you have to admit they know how to have lots and lots of available, affordable hotel rooms around convention centers. With the glut of hotels in the Gaslamp district adjacent to the San Diego Convention Center and nothing else close by there are high prices already. If you want to be close, you’re going to pay for it. And the San Diego hotels like it that way. If you think Cisco Live pricing is crazy, you should check out the Comicon pricing.
Cisco Live Twitter List
The best way to let people know that you’re headed to San Diego and ready to have some fun at Cisco Live 2019 is getting yourself added to the Cisco Live 2019 Twitter List! It’s been going strong for many years now, starting with Dane Devalcourt, and helps all kinds of people announce that they’re at the event and ready to take part in all the activities.
Want to get on the list? The rules are easy:
- Send my your Name, Twitter Handle, Blog or Website, and a short note about yourself.
- Please send me your personal handle. You may DJ for a corporate account, but unless that’s your only handle please send us the “real” you. We like to meet people!
- A short note is just that. Not a paragraph or a PBS biography. The table space is short, so brevity is key. Popular items include CCIE numbers, DJ’ed corporate accounts, or amusing things. Be creative!
Here is the most up-to-date version of the 2019 Cisco Live Twitter List:

Getting On The List
Getting on the list is easy. You can send me an email at tom@networkingnerd.net. You can also DM or mention me on Twitter. You can also use the very handy form below! The list is opt-in, so unless you tell me to add you to the list I won’t put you on there.
Make sure you check out the Cisco Live website for all the latest details on the event, including the keynote speaker, entertainment for the Customer Appreciation Event, and even the list of classes.
I can’t wait to see you all in San Diego in June!
