Sessions and Workshops

Collaboration University sessions are focused entirely on making you an immediate success back at the office. With real experience derived from hundreds of clients and millions of licensed seats, your speakers and facilitators will cover every imaginable aspect of the products you work with and care about.

August 12: The final agendas have been posted! The technical content of Chicago and London are the same, with a few differences in our IBM guest speakers - so we have developed a handy online agenda application for your convenience and planning.

For the Chicago agenda, click here. For London, click here.

As always, we will deal with your specific questions and implementations, even if the topic is not on the list. Our expert speakers deal with so many implementation and programming situations that we likely have materials and examples available! Just let us know when you arrive if you would like a particular topic covered. We'll either work it in, or work with you one-on-one!


Workshops

New Workshop Concept - Just Like Real Life
For our optional workshops this year (Wednesday afternoon post-con), we're trying something different. We're going to give you a month's experience in 3 hours! The workshop will focus on Quickr Domino development and administration. Developers will go to one room and work on an application - with significant help - for 90 minutes, while the admins will start with a "bare bones" install of Quickr and apply best practices security settings, modify LDAP, configure notes.ini and qpconfig.xml, and set up MSSO. Next, each developer will pair up with an admin to deploy the application and test it. If that's not real-life enough, your resident unreasonable business client will request a critical change in the application so everyone - developers and admins alike - can learn what choices you have to make when deploying changes to a production Quickr environment.

Basically, we are presenting a real-life scenario that joins admins and developers together to deliver the kind of experience you would expect in a Quickr deployment. Make sure to register for a workshop WITH your conference registration for a $100 USD savings!

Nowhere will you find more focused, in-depth sessions on Lotus Quickr, Sametime and Connections delivered by industry experts. With new versions of each product out in 2008, this year means plenty of brand-new content!

"Lots of in-depth hands-on knowledge was conveyed during the last few days. I found it a good thing that partners were giving the majority of the presentations."
