NEW! You may have built enterprise networks before, but have you ever built one in 16 hours or less? Sign up for LISA Build, and learn from the experts on building and establishing a production network from the ground up. You'll come in with your skills (at any level), we'll match you with an area
and lab tech, and you and your team will construct the hardware and software for the rest of
the conference in a hands-on instructional environment. This is not a class, it doesn't have a syllabus, but it does have a great final exam at the end: move packets for LISA.
There are some restrictions:
You need to be registered for LISA14 to participate in LISA Build.
You will need to be at the venue, ready to start on the morning of November 9.
