Recap from the 2017 Cisco-Polytechnique Symposium

By | June 7, 2017

Unsurprisingly, the second annual networking innovation and research symposium, jointly organized by Cisco and École Polytechnique, held March 20-21, 2017, was a fantastic success. Bringing together in excess of 100 interesting engineers, researchers, and students, discussions were livid and extremely interesting, presentations were of an exceptionally high quality. Thanks to ALL the speakers, participants – and, in particular, to Carole Reynayd for making sure that everything was operating perfectly.

As always, the biggest regret being that the event was over too soon – fortunately, thanks to the excellent Jeremy Barande from Ecole Polytechnique, here are some photos from the event to let us re-live the good times … until the the 2018 symposium.
