John Chambers the CEO of Cisco is getting ready to speak here in Chicago and John is generally one of the more dynamic speakers the industry has. Surprisingly, I haven’t heard John speak as often as I like as I seem to always have a scheduling conflict. at events he speaks at.

I heard a bit of his talk at Interop and it was great. Today, I am not sure what to expect but think telepresence will be part of the message. Perhaps he will even talk about how advanced applications such as this high-end video platform will be the way for providers to replace declining voice revenue.

 

Then again, he may just announce some new products. Other speakers expected are Chris Plummer and Shannon Welch.
