Congratulations on your well-deserved success, welcome to Cisco’s VIP Class of 2023!
We're thrilled to announce the 2023 Cisco Designated VIP Class of Cisco Community. This year we have 60 VIPs -yes, we keep breaking record- with 11 new awardees. And for the second year in a row, we have 3 ladies in the same class. Thanks, VIPs, for helping for building this community, for your contributions, and for helping tons around the world, we wish you even more success in future.
The Cisco Designated VIP program recognizes the top external individual contributors in Cisco's online communities, including Cisco Community, and Cisco Learning (CLN).
Cisco Designated VIPs are recognized by their peers for their expertise, tireless contributions, and their abundant participation that is vital to community success. With this program, Cisco formally recognizes the positive, valuable influence that our top individual members exert on the communities overall.
Along with the 2023 class, we extend our warmest congratulations to these technology industry leaders!
Special acknowledgment goes to Jonathan Schulenberg, Leo Laohoo, Richard Burts, and Scott Fella for being a Cisco Designated VIP for 13th time (since the inception of the program). Additionally, Jon Marshall and Reza Sharifi are VIPs for the 12th time. THANK YOU, you’re an inspiration!
For over a decade this program continues rocking and recognizing those who share their time and knowledge to help thousands around the globe. Thank you to all the 2022 Cisco Designated VIPs for all their contributions this past year. Regardless of the VIP status, we appreciate all your contributions. Since you are the soul of the community, we are in your debt. This community continues to thrive thanks to your knowledge sharing.

@Hilda Arteaga The email sent to all Cisco VIP for this year has old link to book cisco live for this year.
some of us (mostly me) want to go Cisco Live Europe on Feb 06. And wanted to use the Cisco Live Pass earned from Cisco VIP. but the link in the email give us option to Join Cisco Live EMEAR and AMERICAS as virtual. I think there is an error. where as for Melbourne there is no option for Virtual event.
I also noted the link as same for cisco live in email for this year and the last year.
Could you please confirm if we get Cisco Live ticket for Europe 06 Feb for pass as VIP2023 members?

Hi Sheraz, it seems there is an issue with the smartsheet that gathers the data. I have already updated it, but it's taking some time to the system to refresh. In the mean time, I'm contacting you via direct mess ague so we can review this

@Hilda Arteaga This is what I thought you that there must be an issue. so thought to let you know on this. Thank you very much for the confirmation.
