The Return of Networking Field Day

Networking Field Day is back once again, it's gonna be a busy week in Silicon Valley, March 19th and 20th, but we are going to be bringing you some great networking content and we can't wait to hear what you have to say about it. My name is Tom Hollingsworth and I'm the event lead for our networking Field day event series, and we are gonna be talking to some great companies who are on the leading edge of all things networking during networking field day. We're gonna be starting off on Wednesday with a presentation from bt.

Now, you've known the name for a long time and they've been doing a lot in the networking space, but they're actually gonna be coming to us with a presentation about quantum computing. I know that you've been hearing about it in the news, and they're gonna be talking specifically about post quantum cryptography and quantum key exchange. These are two things that have a huge impact on the way that our secure networks communicate in today's environment.

Coming up after that, we're gonna be having some special community sessions from a couple of our delegates. They're gonna be talking about some of the projects that they're involved with, and they're gonna be sharing how you can get involved with those projects as well and continue to grow their communities across the nation and across the world. Coming up after that, we're gonna be talking to our friends from versa.

Now they're gonna be talking to us about a brand new product that they have called Sovereign Sassy, and yes, it's as impactful as it sounds because we're gonna be talking about how networking is dealing with the evolving needs of data rights and data rights holders, as well as geopolitical policy discussions and the complexities of multi-cloud operations when it comes to how all of these things interact. The folks at Versa have been putting a lot of effort into making sure that their product can address the needs of different countries, different organizations, and different regulatory environments, so make sure you tune in for that. Then starting on Thursday, we're gonna get a presentation from our friends, selector ai.

You recently saw them at Cloud Field Day and they had a great reception with the Cloud Field Day. We're gonna be bringing them back to talk about their AI platform, which premiered at Networking Field Day. They're gonna be talking about things like RCA and AI agents, as well as digital twins and some copilot like functions, and if you don't know what those are, you're definitely gonna want to tune in and if you do know what they are, you're gonna wanna keep track of all of the great content that Selector is coming out with because they are constantly iterating on their platform.

And we're gonna get a special presentation from our friend John Cap Bianco, and if you are active in the network programmability space, you know the name, you know the face, and we can't wait to have him bring you all this great content. We're also excited to be joined by Futureum Group Analyst, Ron Westfall. Once again, he has become a fixture at Networking Field Day and we are very excited to have him back on board with us, as well as the rest of our amazing delegates.
