About HPE Aruba Networking Days

HPE Aruba Networking Days (formerly known as Atmosphere Meetups) are a series of one-day events that bring the best of Atmosphere 2024 to a city near you. These events are free to attend.

Network engineers, architects, administrators, security specialists and Partner Engineers will benefit most from the technical content presented on the Airheads track. 

Employees of HPE Aruba Networking’s value-added resellers will benefit most from the solutions-focused content on our Partner Sales track. 

Both tracks are taught by HPE Aruba Networking subject matter experts and local teams.
