ITAG Banquet In The Ballroom

Don't miss the amazing Christopher Carter, Mentalist, after the ITAG Banquet!

Find out why reviews say, "Christopher Carter blew the minds of all the students. He is funny, great to work with and very polite. I would have him back in a heart beat. Phenomenal show!" - Brandon Carpenter, Illinois Central College.

During his show, Chris will have coins placed upon his eyes, which are then duct-taped shut; He will then describe objects that are held up by audience members, even duplicating signatures and correctly identifying the serial number on currency that is safely hidden in an audience member’s pocket or purse. He can even cause light bulbs to light up in audience members’ hands without ever touching them! Christopher Carter will astound audience members with personal facts that they have never before revealed – to anyone as well as make them believe that they are experiencing touches and taps from invisible hands.

Sheraton Salon A & Rooms 226-227 (2nd Floor) will be open and available for a networking and fun after the evening Banquet & Entertainment. Bring your own games, beverage, snacks, etc., and catch up with fellow ITAG attendees.

Drinks and light snacks will be provided by IP Pathways.

Title: Connecting with Cisco Meraki

Description: The goal of our presentation is to spend the first half (25 minutes) covering the full stack of Meraki products and the power of our cloud-managed dashboard.

The second half of the session (30 minutes) will be a Q&A session with Andrew, Micah, Yasir, and myself discussing what it's like to have a full Meraki network and how customers have seen success with our products.
