The time has come to announce the guest closing Keynote speaker for Thursday!  This information is hot off the press so be prepared for some serious excitement!  
The closing Keynote speaker is going to be just AWESOME.  I have been asking, as well as have others, for a few years to get this man for the closing keynote.  He is a person whom I have a lot  of respect for.  I respect him because he has embraced the cause to teach us about hard work. determination, and perseverance..  I will also admit that he is a man who I have a &#8220;man crush&#8221; on.  Without further delay and embellishment, it is none other than the former late night host of QVC,_ **Mike Rowe**_! (Yeah OK &#8211; he has done a few other great shows like  <a href="http://mikerowe.com/shows/somebodys-gotta-do-it/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Somebody&#8217;s Gotta Do It </a> and voice overs since his time at QVC).

  Some time ago, not sure how long ago, Cisco started a Cisco Champion program for people who are passionate about Cisco and active on social media ( twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, etc).  I am glad to say that I and flattered and honored to be called a Cisco Champion Data Center.

  Taking some words from the Champion site –  <a href="http://www.cisco.com/web/about/facts_info/champions.html#~overview">http://www.cisco.com/web/about/facts_info/champions.html#~overview,</a> , the Cisco Champion program is:

  What makes a Cisco Champion? Passion, plus a desire to share their perspectives with the community. There are Cisco Champions all over the world. They represent a variety of segments across the IT industry. And they offer their time to help others learn about Cisco and connect with Cisco in unique ways.
