Having sat through the webinar last night, they've told me this morning that I don't qualify because I work for an IT company.

Offered a free trial instead with look to purchase, but it's £1000 to buy so I'll not be partaking in that offer.

Can't see anything that gives the switch away, only an AP.

Google not working in your part of town - here you go - next one is on Wed 16th - https://meraki.cisco.com/webinars/si...switching/5068

Edit: was using the mobile version and just noticed I missed a whole page where this was answered - apologies

More or less what I said, mine must have been a bit of a twat! He said they were looking for budget holders more or less, the free AP being a sweetener.....
