<div dir="ltr">Yes, but it's like 1 to 3 credit for classes at Live, unless you're paying $1,000 for an 8 hour day to get 10 credits, so to think that you can just attend Cisco Live every year to re-cert is likely not going to happen.

<p class="MsoNormal">Some of you might be interested to hear that Cisco has announced a new method of renewing one’s expert-level certification. While taking a written exam is still an option, those needing to renew their CCIE/CCDE will be allowed to enroll
themselves in select classes, online and in-person, which will count towards renewal credits. Renewal will require 100 credits in total and applies to both active and suspended status cert holders.<u></u><u></u></p>
