Photos: AlcaLu Technology Symposium

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The Light Reading Silicon Valley office is finding it hard to compete with the crew at Management World, especially in the photo department. While they're traipsing around Ireland, we're attending the usual events at local hotels.

Then again, the annual AlcaLu Technology Symposium isn't a bad gig, attracting industry analysts, Wall Street and European press. We had a new entry in the core-router market (something that certainly doesn't happen every year), a chance to hear CEO Ben Verwaayen and a miniature showcase of AlcaLu history in the lunch/break area. (See Alcatel-Lucent, Juniper Get Core-Router Upgrades.)

There's plenty worth seeing. Click the photo to launch the slide show and judge for yourself.
