Cisco Live 2027

Cisco Live 2027 runs June 6–10, 2027 at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Registration had not opened when this page was checked; the organizer says it opens in the fall, and hotel booking in early 2027.

What it is

Cisco Live is Cisco's own conference for the IT professionals, partners and customers who work with its technology. The organizer frames the week around technical education in AI, security and networking, keynotes from Cisco's executive leadership team, the World of Solutions, and community events including the Cisco Live Celebration party. It runs other Cisco Live events in Melbourne (November 9–12, 2026) and London (February 8–12, 2027).

Learning, labs and certification

• Certification exams: Full Conference and IT Leadership pass holders can take a Cisco certification exam free of charge at the onsite test center.
• Instructor-led labs: four-hour small-group labs run Sunday to Thursday; one lab is included with the Full Conference and IT Leadership packages.
• Technical seminars: four-hour classroom sessions held on the Sunday only, booked separately.
• Continuing education: breakouts, labs, seminars and Capture the Flag missions earn CE credits toward Cisco recertification.
• 1:1 help: Meet the Engineer sessions, walk-in labs and the Technical Assistance Center (TAC) offer individual guidance.

Returning attendees can qualify for NetVet status by attending at least three Cisco Live conferences with a qualifying pass between 2022 and 2026, then registering for 2027 with a Full Conference or IT Leadership package. The organizer also plans a free global broadcast of key sessions for people who cannot travel.
