In Today’s show, we have a final list of The Best Network Design Sessions from Cisco Live US 2020. This year, Cisco Live was 100% virtual! We have combined the first, second, and third releases to come up with one master list of The Best Network Design Sessions!
Cisco Live US 2020 – Best Network Design Sessions
A couple of things to call out. The session IDs are different for this event. Since it is a digital event, the first portion of the session ID has been modified to reflect that it’s specifically for the digital event.
A huge thanks to go out to the entire Cisco Live Content team.
Cisco Live – First and Second Releases:
The plan for on-demand content was a three release cycle. The first release was June 18th. The second release was July 15th, and the final release was this week on September 9th. If you didn’t get a chance to listen or watch the previous shows their direct links are below:

Best Network Design Sessions from Sept 9th
For the third release, the Cisco Live Content team put together ~265 sessions. Between all three releases that’s roughly 734 new on-demand sessions this year! Most if not all of these sessions required more effort and work than a normal onsite Cisco Live Event. The speakers really stepped up this year, to deliver outstanding value in every session. While a lot of these session recordings that you will see are 30 minutes, 60, minutes, or even 120 minutes, a lot more time went in to create them. An average estimate for each session is around 50 hours
My session BRKRST-2044, now named DGTL-BRKRST-2044, was launched in the first release of sessions!! I put a ton of time into this session, this year. I recorded close to 20 demos!! :). If Enterprise Multi-homed Internet Edge Architectures is something you are looking for, please feel free to take a look at my session. I also still leverage the same Github link for all of my configurations, lab topology, and blog walkthrough. (BRKRST-2044 on Github)
