Hear why partners are earning their DevNet Specialization

One reason I'm particularly excited is this coming May 2021 marks one full year since the successful launch of DevNet Specialization -and our partners are ready to take the mic and rock! You'll hear first-hand from our partners who have already earned their DevNet Specialization. And, learn how and why they embraced this as the path towards building their software development and automation practice.

Partners who have become DevNet Specialized to date, have unlocked the value of software automation and they're ready to share exactly how being specialized helped them meet their business growth goals in an otherwise personal and professionally challenging year.

If you're a partner integrator, provide, developer or advisor -take this opportunity tune in to all of these great sessions! Turn it up and learn more about how you can grab the mic and kick-start yourownjourney towards automation and digital transformation for your business.
