This series will be presented by Lauren Malhoit, a member of the vBrownBag crew and a host of the Size Matters tech podcast. Lauren also works for Cisco in the ACI team. The shows will run alternate Thursday evenings, at 9 PM in New Zealand time. You can subscribe to the podcast here: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/3823028688718766593
