Hello,
I just wanted to give everyone an update on the Networkers 2004 Conference, for all of those that couldnt attend. First of all, I would like to say I have been to Microsoft, Citrix and Novell conferences. This is by far the best technical conference I have ever been to. Although my intent was to go their to get a job. Although I still dont have a job, I have come back with many new friends that I made their. The technical sessions were incredible, but it was a hit or miss depending on which ones you signed up for. There were some hands on sessions as well as powerpoint. Each session lasted for 2 hours. I ended up most of my time with the vendors, but was able to attend a few sessions. They also had a CCIE power session, for all of those studying. I took and failed my Security written, I do plan on taking again soon, in the near future. The convention center was very big, 3 floors with big rooms for the presentations as well as smaller rooms for the sessions. John Chambers ga!
ve an incredible speech, and I just happened to get a front row seat, because I got up very early, well worth the effort. And the best part of the conference was in the superdome, with funny looking hats, great food, great drinks, music, games and great people. If anyone ever has a chance to go in the future, and your company does not send you, I encourage to spend the extra money, its well worth it, there were many CCIE's there, also many training companies there as well to help you for your exam. I will be home tommorrow and will try and help you all as much as I can.
Sincerely,
John Matijevic, CCIE #13254
