Partner Summit Impact Sessions

Solution providers participating in Cisco's various Impact Sessions are in for a treat, according to Bahr (pictured). These sessions will be conducted by one or more top Cisco executives about specific areas of focus such as how to increase your profitability growth with DNA, the evolution of Cisco services and how the company aligns its strategy with partner programs.

"Impact Sessions are incredible opportunities to learn more about expanding your capabilities, leveraging the expanded partner ecosystem, the architectures you can sell and market today, and more," said Bahr, in a blog post.

The impact sessions will be held on Thursday, Nov. 3 from 8 a.m. to 10:15 a.m.
