Have You Registered for Academy Conference 2009 Yet?
 
If you have not registered for either the Denver or the Orlando Conference yet, you’ll definitely want to do that soon, especially if you want to attend in Orlando, June 22-24. It looks like the Orlando Conference is going to be our largest event ever, and a number of the Technical Sessions are approaching maximum capacity. Due to overwhelming response, we have found it necessary to move the venue in Orlando for the Appreciation Event! Click below to read more.

Highlights this year will include the release of Packet Tracer 5.2 and the launch of our newest curriculum offering, CCNA Security. You’ll find plenty of sessions focused on both of these great releases.

Here are just two of the sessions that will feature Packet Tracer 5.2:

   - CCNA Security Overview and Technical Session (Session ID: BRK-110P)
   - Packet Tracer Enhancements (Session ID: BRK-117T)

Here are just a few of the sessions that will highlight the new CCNA Security curriculum release:

   - CCNA Security Overview and Technical Session (Session ID: BRK-110P)
   - Why Teach the New CCNA Security “What's the Real Threat?” (Session ID: BRK-123C)
