“The Park” at Cisco Live
By George P Johnson
For Cisco
“The Park”, staged at Cisco Live EMEA 2020, which took place in Barcelona, Spain in January 2020, was an immersive technology destination targeting network engineers, IT managers, CIOs, customers, prospects and industry influencers.
The vibrant interactive space harnessed Cisco's collaborative and 'changemaker' spirit to help attendees challenge their knowledge and technology application. Every experience came to life with human interaction, transforming it from a passive environment to one which adapted, challenged and rewarded the participants. They were able to explore features such as ‘The Grid’, a self-contained gamified environment where people could work as a team and feel the pressure and importance of maintaining a country's electricity network, 'always-on' and secure. Attendees could also learn more about artificial intelligence with a ‘human versus machine’ race through a physical maze that changed shape and adapted each time.
Throughout ‘The Park', every experience demonstrated the achievements and potential of Cisco technology, not just what the technology was.
