LIMA, Peru, April 19, 2011 – Cisco announced today the launch of Cisco® Networkers® 2011, a premier education and training event aimed at the networking and communications professionals of more than 30 countries in Central America, the Caribbean and the Andean region.

Cisco Networkers is recognized worldwide as one of the best technical training opportunities for professionals in information technology and communications, and as a meeting place to learn about the latest technical advances and trends worldwide and the strategic role of the network.

Cisco Networkers Peru will offer training sessions in Cisco technologies, including unified communications, security, data center, cloud computing and Internet Protocol/Multiprotocol Label Switching (IP/MPLS), and the latest solutions will be shown live in the Technology Showcase.

This year incorporates new meeting and learning avenues such as social networks and the virtual platforms Cisco Live and Virtual Networkers. A plenary session will be held with keynote speaker Carlos Dominguez, a Cisco vice president. Dominguez motivates audiences around the world with his presentations about how technology is changing the way people and companies communicate, collaborate and, especially, work.

The event will also host business forums on subjects including telecommunications, finances and the public sector. The Partner Business Day features discussions about business case studies and innovative solutions. Cisco Networkers also provides multiple opportunities to interact with Cisco engineers and partners about technological advances and training in IT and communications.

Alvaro Merino- Reyna, Cisco country manager, Peru:

“Cisco Networkers is one of the most important information technology and communication events around the world. Today we not only talk about networks but also about collaboration, data centers, video and other technologies that generate a deep impact in the way we live, learn and do business. The event in Lima is especially important because it will be one of only two events in Latin America, together with Mexico, in 2011.
