<ul>
<li>IT professionals gathered at Cisco Live face a number of new challenges, among them defining their role in the face of rapid technology changes.</li>
<li>One of the primary drivers behind the rapid IT evolution is the consumerization of IT, and lines of business that deploy whatever they need, as they need it.</li>
<li>The conference will host a panel discussion on the topic during Wednesday's <a href="Industry">https://www.ciscolive2015.com/connect/sessionDetail.ww?SESSION_ID=4484"… Keynote</a> (10:30-11:30 a.m. PDT), featuring senior leadership and executives from Cisco, NetApp, Intel and EMC.</li>
