The first time that I heard about the Cisco Champions program, it was back late in November 2015.<\/p>\n

At that time, I saw the form to submit his application but probably with lack of time and being busy with a lot of projects , deployments and software releases. I didn’t catch the time to present me as a possible candidate.<\/p>\n

What is the Cisco Champions program?<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

In the below video, you can find already a good definition of what the program is and why I’ve applied to the program.<\/p>\n

Indeed, by participating in this program, my objectives were :<\/p>\n

\n
• to peer more with my fellow colleagues around the world<\/li>\n
• to participate in discussions about Collaborations product\/solutions<\/li>\n
• to share my knowledge about my work and my experience<\/li>\n
• \u00a0…<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  So when the application form came back in November 2016, this time , I jumped on the occasion to register myself as a candidate and so far I didn’t regret it a moment !!!<\/p>\n

  it was planned to receive feedback by mid January 2017 but on the portal , they have announced then that it was pushed until the 1st February 2017 to receive some feedback.<\/p>\n

  Indeed , even if it is only one week that we (all new champions and all the old ones) have joined the adventure. I can already see that the infrastructure and the support inside the team is very huge and impressive. I really appreciate this spirit<\/p>\n

  A lot of useful information has been already presented on the Community which begins surely to be active and will be a great source of news.<\/p>\n

  It is really a pleasure to be part of this and we can see also this great engagement in all the Spark Champions rooms and this is already a good omen that this year will be a very rewarding year !!!<\/p>\n
