WebexOne day 1 | Reimagining hybrid work

Yesterday was a big day for Cisco! With the kickoff of Day 1 of our second annual users conference, WebexOne 2021, where we announced groundbreaking new hybrid work innovations across the Webex ecosystem to help the industry reimagine #hybridwork from home, from the office, or from anywhere in between. This year we drank our own champagne by hosting #WebexOne on our very own events platform, Socio (now part of Webex).

Unveiling the hybrid work strategy

It was super exciting to see our CEO Chuck Robbins open WebexOne with an overview of the world of Hybrid Work, followed by EVP and GM of Collaboration and Security Jeetu Patel unveiling our Hybrid Work Strategy.

Each space showcased how Cisco’s Webex technology portfolio — from Collaboration, Networking to Security — connects people in a diverse array of hybrid workspaces and elevates employee mental health, wellness, and productivity in this new era of hybrid work.
