WHAT: Cisco invites members of the press and industry analysts to attend a press event where executives will introduce and demonstrate an emerging new technology that is designed to deliver an interoperable communications system that will help enable true collaboration across previously separate and proprietary systems.

In addition, there will be customer presentations, a short demo and an open Q&A session.
