We’re gearing up for our Tech Talk this coming Monday, November 3rd that discusses how network engineering is evolving – but what about its origins?

In 1973, Ethernet was born in a Xerox PARC lab thanks to engineer Bob Metcalfe. He sketched the original concept on a napkin, envisioning a way for computers to communicate over a shared cable. That napkin drawing laid the foundation for modern LANs and eventually the internet as we know it.

From napkin to network - legendary, right?

Ready to learn more? Join us at our tech talk to explore how network engineering is evolving to incorporate AI, what skill you should explore to elevate your career, and connect with your peers.

When: Monday, November 3rd, 5-8 PM
