• Dates: Cisco Live EMEA 2026 runs Feb 9–13, 2026 in Amsterdam.
  • Focus: A developer- and automation-focused week covering Meraki APIs, OAuth, AI agents, AIOps, Splunk integrations, and network automation.
  • Planning: Cisco’s developer guide includes a curated DevNet and technical breakout schedule to help you pick sessions.
  • Why it matters: Essential for engineers and teams who don’t want to fall behind on API-driven networking and AI automation.

What the developer guide covers

Cisco’s Developer’s Guide to Cisco Live EMEA 2026 positions the event as “one of the most developer- and automation-focused events yet.” The guide highlights practical sessions and breakouts on Meraki APIs, OAuth workflows, AI agents, AIOps, Splunk integrations, and network automation — plus a curated DevNet schedule to help developers plan their week in Amsterdam (Feb 9–13, 2026).

Key sessions and technical themes

The guide concentrates on a short list of high-impact areas attendees should prioritize:

  • Meraki APIs: Hands-on sessions and demos aimed at building, extending, and automating Meraki-managed networks through APIs.
  • OAuth and security: Best practices for authorization flows and securing developer integrations.
  • AI agents and AIOps: Sessions showing how agents and AI-driven operations are being used to detect, diagnose, and remediate network issues.
  • Splunk integrations: Practical examples for integrating network telemetry and observability into SIEM and analytics platforms.
  • Network automation: Breakouts focused on workflows, orchestration, and developer tools (including curated DevNet learning paths).

Why this matters — and why you should plan now

With networking and operations moving quickly toward software-first, API-driven models, missing these sessions risks falling behind peers who adopt automation and AI tooling early. Cisco’s curated guide reduces noise: it highlights developer-focused sessions so you can spend time learning practical patterns rather than hunting through a long agenda.

How to use the guide to plan your week

Start by reviewing the curated DevNet and technical breakout schedule in the guide. Pick a mix of hands-on labs, breakout talks, and panel sessions that map to your team’s priorities (security, observability, automation). Block time in your calendar for labs and follow-ups — these sessions are often the most practical and get crowded quickly.

Social and follow-up

The guide references DevNet resources and suggests follow-up learning paths; look for session summaries and posts on Cisco’s developer channels and social platforms during the event. If you rely on Meraki APIs, OAuth, AIOps, or Splunk integrations, this week is designed to give you actionable techniques you can bring back to your projects.

Planning now gives you the best chance to attend the sessions most relevant to your work and to connect with peers and experts in Amsterdam next February.
