Cisco Meraki Access Manager for Schools Webinar

[MYK-IT]

HI,

 

Just wondered if anyone else registered for this morning's (10am-11am) webinar, Meraki Access Manager for Schools?

 

I received emailed confirmation of registration and Webex link provided, but when accessed the link refers to Secure Everyone, Everywhere with Cisco Secure Access which is scheduled for 22nd January 2026 and I cannot find the intended webinar listed.

 

Thanks,

Yes, I signed up. It said the meeting hadn't started yet when I clicked the link, I manually added the meeting number in, then it was asking for a password.

 

So I logged off and got on with my day.

I contacted CISCO, who replied advising that it appears that the webinar has been rescheduled and they will let me know when to etc.
