Highlights from Cisco Live in Las Vegas
July 15, 2016

It has been quite a week for Cisco! Cisco Live is always a good and exciting time for everyone involved. If you follow this blog, then you've seen all the awesome announcements and improvements we've made to Cisco Spark, and if you followed #CLUS on twitter, you've felt the excitement that permeated the Las Vegas Strip from MGM to Mandalay Bay and everywhere in-between.
It all started off with a great message from Ruba Borno about women in technology.
Technology is helping level the playing field for men & women. @rubaborno breaks it down for us.#CiscoEWN #CLUS pic.twitter.com/jSXRW3STw8

For a few days we had the Spark Game of Life up and running in the DevNet Zone. This fun little demonstration showed how you could connect pretty much anything to Spark using our robust APIs. In this case it was a game, in another case it might be something more like a task management system.
Come play the Spark Game of Life and see how you can integrate #CiscoSpark APIs into just about anything! #CLUS pic.twitter.com/m5ZUjTL2j5

Elsewhere in the DevNet Zone, we had our experts from Spark for Developers and Tropo on hand to answer any questions that convention attendees had about either platform and their APIs.
Ask these guys anything you want about developing for #CiscoSpark in the DevNetZone in The Hub at #CLUS. pic.twitter.com/O7x3p1MvQU
