Cisco Live EMEA 2027

Cisco Live EMEA 2027 runs 8-12 February 2027 at ExCeL London, moving from the RAI Amsterdam where the 2026 edition was held. It is Cisco's flagship European customer and partner conference; the 2026 Amsterdam edition drew 21,000 customers, partners, analysts and press. The agenda has shifted decisively toward AI infrastructure. At the 2026 edition, President and Chief Product Officer Jeetu Patel used the keynote to reposition Cisco from a networking equipment vendor to a full-stack AI platform company, framed around three gaps — an infrastructure deficit from AI compute and energy demand, a trust deficit constraining enterprise deployment, and a data gap between operational telemetry and business decisions. Announcements included the Silicon One G300 ASIC at up to 102.4 Tb/s, N9000 and 8000 series Ethernet systems, the Nexus One management platform, AgenticOps for autonomous network operations, AI Defense, and post-quantum cryptography in IOS XE 26. Registration for London opens later in 2026, and a free global broadcast is confirmed.

Five days is a serious travel budget, and the justification is that Cisco's EMEA roadmap lands here before anywhere else in the region. The 2026 edition is the template: sovereign critical infrastructure went from a niche ask to what EMEA President Gordon Thomson described as a majority-of-CIOs priority inside two days, and it was priced publicly at a 15-25% premium on five- to seven-year terms. If you run networking, data-centre or security infrastructure in Europe, this is where you pressure-test AI data-centre designs, post-quantum migration and Splunk-based observability against the engineers who built them, with independent analysts in the room to argue back.

• ✓Opening keynote, Keynote Deep Dives and Center Stage sessions — the format used at the 2026 Amsterdam edition
• ✓Free global broadcast for attendees who cannot travel to London
• ✓First EMEA edition at ExCeL London, moved from RAI Amsterdam
• ✓Full-stack AI platform keynote theme carried from the 2026 edition — infrastructure, trust and data gaps
• ✓Sovereign Critical Infrastructure programming, the EMEA-specific portfolio introduced at the 2026 edition at a stated 15-25% premium on five- to seven-year terms
• ✓Splunk-integrated observability and Data Fabric content following the acquisition
• ✓AI Defense and post-quantum security content across the 8000 Series Secure Routers and C9000 Smart Switches

• ★Cisco's EMEA product news lands here first — the Silicon One G300, Nexus One, AgenticOps and IOS XE 26 post-quantum support all launched at the 2026 edition
• ★21,000 attendees in 2026 makes it the largest enterprise networking event in Europe
• ★Sovereign Critical Infrastructure content is EMEA-specific and has no equivalent on the US Cisco Live calendar — at the 2026 edition EMEA President Gordon Thomson reported a majority of regional CIOs now treat sovereignty as strategic
• ★A free global broadcast means the keynote programme is reachable without travel or a pass
• ★Independent analysts cover it critically — Futurum and diginomica both published counter-arguments to Cisco's platform positioning within days of the 2026 keynote
