As mentioned on my post the other day, I wasn't able to upload my photos and video clip of the Cisco analyst conference while I was there. I've got them now, and wanted to share them with you here.

By the way, I should add that my highlights are based on Day 1 of the conference, which was webcast in its entirety. So, the sessions weren't exactly in-camera, and I'm not passing on any scoops or secret strategies here - just in case you were wondering.

Images are courtesy of my Nokia N93, and are best enjoyed in the company of my narrative post about the conference.
