Meraki Training at Cisco Live??

[Twitch]

Good morning! Does anyone know if the ECMS2 training and certification is going to be offered at Cisco Live in Vegas this year? I have been scouring the Cisco Live website to try and find some info but haven't seen anything. 

I'm trying to sell the Vegas trip to my boss, and Meraki training would help a great deal in my quest. 

Thanks!

I don't think so. ECMS2 takes three days. So there wouldn't be much Cisco Live left.

CMSS certification is not live yet afaik.

Even if ECMS2 isn't at CLUS, there will be other events and trainings related to general network goodness and Meraki in specific. I went in 2018 and there was quite a bit of Meraki or Meraki-related stuff, especially if you were interested in network automation.

To add to what @Nash said, I've been the last two years and there's always quite a few breakout sessions in addition to self paced walk in labs and even a DevNET session or four.

Here's what was on the bill for 2019 in San Diego:

If you haven't already you can create an account on the CiscoLive website and get access to the recorded past sessions. Here's the search link I used to get these:

https://www.ciscolive.com/global/on-demand-library.html?search=meraki&search.event=ciscoliveus2019#/

So while there won't be ECMS2, there is literally a ton of Meraki training available. Perhaps that can help you build your case to attend?

JD, you always give great answers. Thank you so much for putting all of that together. I really appreciate it.
