Join Us for Campus Networking Day 2.0
Today's businesses are facing challenges that they never had to face before, such as managing a dispersed workforce, keeping up with evolving technologies, and making their network seamless, easy to use, and hacker-proof.
At Campus Networking Day 2.0, you'll find out how Arista’s Cognitive Campus solution offers everything you need to build a secure corporate network using data-driven, client-to-cloud networking for campus environments of all sizes.
Our 2026 program includes the following hot topics:
Always On Networking
Architecting the Self-Healing Network
Achieve comprehensive network observability by utilizing a single-source-of-truth data lake to automate configuration validation, streamline operations, and provide predictive insights across complex environments
AVA Intelligent Operations
Empowering NetOps with Proactive, Conversational AI
Leverage a high-quality network data lake and conversational AI to automate daily operations, up-skill administrative teams, and achieve agentic network management through natural language troubleshooting and predictive analytics.
Security of the Network & By the Network
An Updated Take on Zero Trust
Explore the future of cybersecurity through N4S & S4N—where networking strengthens security, and security makes networking smarter.
SD-Branch
Modernizing Enterprise Connectivity
Architectural approach to modernizing enterprise networks by integrating automated wide-area connectivity with local networking and identity-based security to simplify operations and ensure reliable application performance across cloud and on-premises environments
Examine the shift from traditional, reactive monitoring to a proactive, data-centric approach for managing high-performance networks. This session explores how a unified data lake architecture enables deep observability and automated troubleshooting by correlating state changes across all network domains in real time. Attendees will discover how to leverage these insights to improve operational efficiency, accelerate root-cause analysis, and ensure consistent application delivery.

Learn how Elisity's IdentityGraph™ correlates identity and context from your IDP, EDR, CMDB and OT security tools to classify every asset on the network, and how the Elisity Dynamic Policy Engine applies least-privilege policy that follows identity instead of IP address. Every policy gets simulated before it's enforced, so your team sees the blast radius before anything changes. Because Elisity enforces on the Arista infrastructure you already own, alongside the multi-vendor estates most enterprises run, you can onboard sites in under an hour and reach your first enforced policy in under two weeks.
