Time to say goodbye to Barcelona
As im sitting here in the hotel, waiting to leave for the airport, the only thing on my mind is: Wow.. what an amazing week this has been.
I have met so many old friends and made a bunch of new ones. All of the Tech Field Day delegates and staff are so bright and friendly that its hard to put into words. We have debated, discussed, thought out loud, shrugged our shoulders and laughed hard.
If you are not already following these guys on twitter, you really should go ahead and push that follow button. Here they are: @al_rasheed @TechFieldDay @ioshints @networkautobahn @darkkavenger @bockcay @OrhanErgunCCDE
In the coming weeks I will put together my final impressions of both the Cisco Live event and the entire Tech Field Day Extra event. Also to come is an analysis of some of the presentations we were fortunate enough to receive.
A big shoutout to Ben Gage (@BenTGage) and Tom Hollingsworth (@NetworkingNerd) for inviting me to this amazing event! Thank you guys!
Time to leave for the airport. Take care!

Have your CCIE or VCP6-NV? Keep advancing your career by signing up for our free online (on-demand) VMware Certified Advanced Professional – Networking Virtualization (VCAP6-NV) certification exam prep and earn your certification.
Changing your Mindset
Why should you even care about a VCAP6-NV certification? Well, just like how achieving your CCIE was about challenging yourself to be a leader in the industry, earning a VCAP6-NV is about the next evolution of leadership as the enterprise moves to a software-driven multi-cloud infrastructure.
The transition from hardware-centric CCIE to software-defined VCAP6-NV is about a change in mindset and tooling. You need to think beyond the boundaries of a physical device and learn to use new tools and technologies to expand the scope of your current expertise and experience.
As the IT industry goes through massive shifts every decade or so, being able to not only embrace but also lead a paradigm shift is a key indicator of your ability to maintain a position of success and progress.
